  2. 1999 Pontiac Bonneville FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY NHTSA Campaign #04V090000

    • Date Announced: FEBRUARY 24, 2004
    • Vehicles Affected: 910,873

    Summary: 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.

    Consequence: 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.

    Actions: 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.

  4. 1999 Pontiac Bonneville POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION NHTSA Campaign #99V089000

    • Date Announced: APRIL 26, 1999
    • Vehicles Affected: 99,333

    Summary: 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.

    Consequence: 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.

    Actions: 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 »

  5. 1999 Pontiac Bonneville WHEELS NHTSA Campaign #99V072000

    • Date Announced: APRIL 12, 1999
    • Vehicles Affected: 352

    Summary: 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.

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

    Actions: 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.
