1996 Cadillac Deville recalls, newest first

March 4, 2004NHTSA 04V110000483,477 vehicles potentially affected

Fuel system, gasoline › Delivery › Hoses, lines/piping, and fittings

Summary: Some passenger vehicles equipped with 4.0L V8 engines have a condition in which the nylon tubing used in the fuel rail construction may degrade and crack. Additionally, the 1995 model year uses a unique underhood fuel return line that may crack. Cracking of the fuel rail or return line tubing can result in a fuel leak into the engine compartment.
Consequence: Fuel leakage, in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a fire.
Remedy: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the engine fuel rail with a new stainless steel fuel rail. Dealers will also install a revised chassis fuel return line. The recall began on June 2, 2004, for 1996-1997 Oldsmobile aurora vehicles. Owners of 1995 cadillacs and 1996-1997 Oldsmobile aurora were sent letters on August 6, 2004. Additional letters to owners will be forthcoming. Owners should contact Oldsmobile at 1-800-630-6537.

December 5, 1995NHTSA 95V22900012,783 vehicles potentially affected

Structure › Body › Hood › Hinge and attachments

Summary: These vehicles could have been produced with an improperly adjusted secondary hood latch. This does not conform to the requirements of FMVSS no. 113, "hood latch system."
Consequence: Consequence of non-compliance: if the secondary latch is not properly engaged and the primary hood latch was also not engaged, the hood latch was also not engaged, the hood could open unexpectedly. If this were to occur while the vehicle is in motion, the hood can contact the windshield reducing the vision of the driver and increasing the risk of a vehicle accident.
Remedy: Dealers will adjust the secondary hood latch.
