What kind of recalls were there on our thirdgens? I know about the seat belt recall on my 89 which I don't know if it was ever done. I also know about the fuel tank recall on the 91 and 92's. Were there any others that have flown under the radar here? What about TSB's and SSM's? Where could I find a list of the common problems that GM have found on our cars and the fixes that they sent to the dealerships?

 

There should be a small sticker under the hood with the recall campaign number hand written in pen. Unless the sticker has come off (which they all eventually do).

The only recalls I have heard about are for the seat belts and the fuel tank.

The seat belt campaign had the dealership install a new buckle button and some other internal hardware. I think you can tell if the buckle was reworked by looking for a sheet metal piece located opposite the button across the belt "tongue" slot.

I do know of one TSB regarding early TPI manifold bases warping (my '87 manifold was warped) and allowing oil/water to leak into into intake stream or outside of the engine.

If my car got the sticker for the recall for the seat belts, its long gone. Never seen the sticker since I've owned it. If it was put on the hood, that's long gone too since I have an aftermarket hood and its been on there since I've owned it. If these are the only recalls since the thirdgens came out, that's actually pretty good for the 10 year run they had. I work at a ford dealership and some of these cars have multiple recalls on a single model. They'll have a recall and then they issue another recall later on to fix the previous recall. Happens a lot. I would think that there would quite a few tsb's on our thirdgens. Was just curious if any of them might pertain to my car.
