4 recalls across 4 model years
The Oldsmobile Calais has 4 recalls covering the 1985-1990 production run, with the most serious being a fuel feed hose fitting on 1990 models that can loosen and leak fuel into the engine compartment, where it can ignite and cause a fire.
A separate fuel system fire risk affects 1988 models equipped with the Quad 4 engine, where the front fuel feed assembly can crack or separate at a coupling near the engine, also allowing fuel to pool in the engine compartment. On 1985 models, the secondary hood latch can be misaligned or bind at its pivot, preventing it from fully engaging, and a mispositioned primary latch lever can make the hood appear closed when it is not latched, leaving the hood free to fly open while driving. The 1989 model year has a compliance recall for a fuel filler label that appears only in English rather than meeting bilingual requirements.
