2000 Chevrolet Lumina recalls
Recall 00V-228: Seat Belts
Problem: Vehicle description: passenger vehicles, light duty trucks, sport utility vehicles, and mini vans equipped with trw seat belt buckle assemblies. The buckle base of these seat belt assemblies were not properly heat treated and therefore do not pass the load bearing requirement of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 209, "seat belt assemblies."
Risk: In the event of a vehicle crash, the occupant may not be properly restrained.
Fix: Dealers will inspect the vehicle's safety belt buckle assembly date codes and, if necessary, will replace any safety belt buckle assembly.
Recall 00V-160: Fuel System, Gasoline
Problem: Vehicle description: passenger vehicles. The clamp that secures the flexible fuel fill hose to the metal fill tube may be loose and could separate.
Risk: This could cause fuel leakage exceeding the permissible amount.
Fix: Dealers will inspect the fuel hose fill neck clamp and, if necessary, reposition and tighten the clamp.
Recall 00V-143: Service Brakes, Hydraulic
Problem: Vehicle description: passenger vehicles equipped with rear drum brakes. The bolt head(S) on the rear spindle rod can separate.
Risk: The rear wheel can shift, causing rear steering of the vehicle. The driver could lose control and a crash could occur.
Fix: Dealers will replace the rear spindle bolts.
Recall 99V-357: Service Brakes, Hydraulic
Problem: Vehicle description: passenger vehicles. The right front brake hose is incorrectly routed behind the brake pipe bracket restricting brake hose movement that could cause the hose to either be cut by the bracket or separated at the caliper.
Risk: If the hose becomes disconnected or damaged, there can be a loss of pressure in one half of the brake system. The brake warning lamp may be on, the pedal will be lower than normal, and stopping distances will be longer, increasing the risk of a crash.
Fix: Dealers will replace and correctly route the right front brake hose assembly.
Recall 99V-283: Air Bags
Problem: Vehicle description: passenger vehicles. The passenger side air bag modules have an undersized inflator orifice.
Risk: In the event of a crash that would trigger a passenger side air bag deployment, this undersized orifice can cause the inflator module to explode. If an air bag inflator module explodes, metal and/or plastic debris could cause severe injury to the vehicle occupant.
Fix: Dealers will replace the passenger side air bag modules.
