Every NHTSA safety campaign that lists a Chevrolet Townsman, most recent first, with the model years each one covers.

  1. Differential proportional valve (service brakes)

    NHTSA 75V214000 Reported 39,278 vehicles potentially affected GENERAL MOTORS CORP.

    Model years: 1976

  2. Underbody shields (structure)

    NHTSA 73V013000 Reported 3,707,064 vehicles potentially affected GENERAL MOTORS CORP.

    The possibility exists that driving on unpaved road surfaces, particularly roads which are heavily graveled and which are extremely wavy or filled with chuckholes, at speeds which cause the car to pitch excessively, the front crossmember may scoop up loose stones or gravel and could be thrown into the engine compartment. It is possible…

    Remedy: Inspect and install shield on affected vehicles.

    Model years: 1971, 1972

  3. Engine (engine and engine cooling)

    NHTSA 71V235000 Reported 6,682,084 vehicles potentially affected GENERAL MOTORS CORP.

    There is a possibility that a separated motor mount may allow the engine to lift, which may affect the throttle linkage, momentarily increasing throttle, possibly to full throttle.

    Remedy: Inspect engine mounts and install restraints which will limit engine lift and eliminate possible secondary effects to the throttle linkage due to engine mount separation.

    Model years: 1965, 1966, 1967, 1968, 1969

  4. Anchorage (seat belts)

    NHTSA 71V182000 Reported 475 vehicles potentially affected GENERAL MOTORS CORP.

    Model years: 1972
