Buick SKYLARK 1996 Recalls

Choose Buick SKYLARK 1996 recall from the list:

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM : IGNITION : SWITCH

on certain passenger vehicles. if the engine fails to start and the driver holds the key in the "start" position for an extended period, high current flows through the ignition switch, and sometimes produces enough heat to melt internal switch parts.

AIR BAGS : FRONTAL

during deployment of the passenger air bag, the air bag fabric can snag on a reinforcement inside the instrument panel, causing the expanding air bag to lift the instrument panel pad and then deploy under the instrument panel instead of through the door in the instrument panel.

INTERIOR LIGHTING

vehicle description: passenger vehicles. these vehicles were built with the potential for the interior lamps to come on unexpectedly while the vehicles are being driven. this does not meet the requirements of fmvss no. 101, "controls and displays."

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE : DELIVERY : FUEL PUMP

certain delphi aftermarket fuel pump modules / module reservoir assemblies (mra) that were sold for use on the above listed vehicles. during production the mras vent and fuel return tubes were reversed. this condition can result in the vehicle not running correctly (idle rough and/or stall) due to an overly rich fuel blend or the vehicle's evaporative emission carbon canister may leak fuel.

the steering column lower pinch bolt was not properly tightened during assembly.
