safety recall question

Did anyone get a letter in the mail about the lower pinion bearing or pinion steering gear assembly in a 96 that is on recall? I just got my 96 not to long ago and this just came in the mail this week.

Re: safety recall question

You need to take it in. The problem is the pinion bearing which MAY come apart and cause steering problems. If the bearing comes apart you will not be able to turn left or have great difficulty doing so.

Re: safety recall question

Weird, so I just take it into the GM dealer or what? I used to have a 96' cavalier untill i totalled it so maybe they think I still have it....

That's right, I remember that recall as well. I believe it said something about if you turned the ignition but the engine didn't start, there was a possiblility of the starter getting to hot and starting a fire.

Re: safety recall question

Does it pull to one side when you are braking?

Re: safety recall question

Nope no pulling... the steering creeks when i turn the wheel like when i am parkin the car... and i get these shutters when i am accelerating... the car wobbles quickly from side to side at around 20 mph then goes away and it happens again at around 40 mph.... My brakes finally work like a swiss watch...
