1988 LADA SAMARA Recalls — Canada & USA

The 1988 Lada Samara has 5 recalls, the most serious involving the clutch cable disconnecting from the clutch fork, leaving the clutch engaged even when the pedal is pressed and causing the vehicle to move unexpectedly. On the brake side, the parking brake lever requires more force than allowed to hold the vehicle, meaning it may not reliably keep the car stationary. There is also a glove box door that can fly open in a collision, becoming a hazard to the front passenger. Two separate recalls address bumper performance: the rear bumper fails to protect the taillights from breaking in a rear impact, and the headlight wipers can crack the headlight lenses when the front of the vehicle is struck. Rounding out the list, the seatbelt warning light can fail to alert the driver when belts are unbuckled.
