All Pontiac Grand Lemans recalls (4)

Every NHTSA safety campaign that lists a Pontiac Grand Lemans, most recent first, with the model years each one covers.

  1. Head restraint (seats)

    NHTSA 78V115000 Reported 1,643 vehicles potentially affected GENERAL MOTORS CORP.

    Incorrect head restraints may have been installed on the involved vehicles. This fails to comply with federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 201, "occupant protection in interior impacts".

    Remedy: Dealer will replace incorrect head restraints with improved head restraints.

    Model years: 1978

  2. Wheel cylinders (service brakes)

    NHTSA 77V181000 Reported 636 vehicles potentially affected GENERAL MOTORS CORP.

    The rear brake wheel cylinder retainer on the involved vehicles may not have been properly installed. Should the wheel cylinder retainer become completely disengaged, the wheel cylinder could move outboard causing a loss of brake fluid and a loss of rear braking action.

    Remedy: The dealer will reposition the rear wheel brake cylinder retainers, free of charge, on all affected vehicles.

    Model years: 1978

  3. Idler and attachment (steering)

    NHTSA 77V025000 Reported 35 vehicles potentially affected GENERAL MOTORS CORP.

    On the involved vehicles, the incorrect steering linkage assembly may have been installed. As a result, the right-hand steering tie rod might interfere with the intermediate rod. This could cause the connection to fail due to excessive stress at that point.

    Remedy: Dealer will inspect and, if necessary, replace the steering linkage assembly without charge.

    Model years: 1977

  4. Differential proportional valve (service brakes)

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

    Model years: 1976
