Risk: In the event of a crash, the child seat may not be properly attached increasing the risk of injury to the child.
Fix: Owners will be provided with an addendum to the owner's manuals.
Recall 00V-180: Service Brakes, Hydraulic
Problem: Vehicle description: non-ABS equipped passenger vehicles. The brake master cylinder piston retainer snap ring may have been bent inward during the assembly process. The master cylinder piston may be in a "brake applied" position due to the damaged piston retainer snap ring. When the piston is in the applied position, the fluid compensation ports are closed which results in a brake drag condition.
Risk: If the brake overheat, brake fading could lead to an increase in needed stopping distance. Should a driver not anticipate the extra stopping distance, this condition could cause a crash.
Fix: Dealers will replace the brake master cylinder.
Recall 00V-033: Seat Belts
Problem: Vehicle description: passenger vehicles. The molding flash on the primary lever may prevent the operation of the g-lock and tilt lock functions on some of the driver's side retractors.
Risk: If this occurs in a frontal crash situation, driver protection from the seat belt may be reduced, increasing the risk of injury.
Fix: Dealers will replace the left front retractor assemblies.
Recall 00V-034: Seat Belts
Problem: Vehicle description: passenger vehicles. The seat belt shoulder height adjustable turning loop (Atl) top mounting bolt was inadequately manufactured.
