NHTSA Campaign #04V090000 FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY

1999 PONTIAC BONNEVILLE -- On certain passenger vehicles equipped with 3800 V6 (L36) engines and certain delphi fuel pressure regulators, the regulators have a much higher than usual rate of fuel leaks. A leak can allow fuel to enter the intake manifold through a vacuum line. If the engine does not start when cranked, the fuel from the leaking regulator and a mistimed spark can cause a backfire.

The backfire can rupture the intake manifold. The rupture of the intake manifold can displace a fuel line, pulling an injector out of place, and causing a fuel leak and possible fire.

Dealers will install new fuel pressure regulators with improved diaphragms. The recall will be conducted in phased mailings. Phase 1 began on June 30, 2004, and phase 2 began on September 30, 2004. Owners should contact Buick at 1-866-608-8080, Oldsmobile at 1-800-630-6537, or Pontiac at 1-800-620-7668.

NHTSA Campaign #99V089000 POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION

1999 PONTIAC BONNEVILLE -- Vehicle description: Passenger vehicles equipped with 4T65E automatic transmissions. These vehicles fail to conform to the requirements of FMVSS no. 102, "Transmission Shift Lever Sequence." A retaining clip, which secures the manual valve to the linkage of the transmission detent lever, can become loose under a combination of possible driver shifting maneuvers and allow the link to become disconnected from the manual valve.

If the link disconnects, the driver's indicated prndl state may differ from the hydraulic state of the transmission. If the driver selects 'drive' and the transmission is actually in 'reverse', a vehicle crash could occur.

Dealers will replace the manual valve/link assembly with a replacement manual valve/link kit, featuring a spring-type fastener. For detailed information & supporting documents, see the official NHTSA page concerning recall #99V089000 »

NHTSA Campaign #99V072000 WHEELS

1999 PONTIAC BONNEVILLE -- Vehicle description: Passenger vehicles equipped with chrome plated aluminum wheels. Some of these wheels have a mounting surface that was not machined correctly, causing the wheel studs to break.

The tire/wheel assembly could separate from the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.

Dealers will inspect the wheels and replace all wheels with date codes indicating that they may not have been machined correctly. The wheel mounting studs at any location where a suspect wheel was installed will also be replaced.
