1999 PONTIAC BONNEVILLE Recalls — Canada & USA

Recalls 1 and 2 describe the same underlying defect (chrome-plated aluminum wheels with incorrectly machined mounting surfaces causing wheel stud failure). I'll treat them as one issue. --- The 1999 Pontiac Bonneville has 3 recalls, the most serious being a wheel defect on vehicles equipped with chrome-plated aluminum wheels where the wheel studs can break and the entire tire and wheel assembly can separate from the car while driving. On vehicles with the 4T65E automatic transmission, a link in the shift mechanism can disconnect and cause the gear indicator on the dashboard to show a different gear than the transmission is actually in. This means the driver may believe the car is in park when it is not, raising the risk of unexpected vehicle movement.

1999 PONTIAC BONNEVILLENHTSA Campaign #99V089000

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION

Defect

VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH 4T65E AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS. THESE VEHICLES FAIL TO CONFORM TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF FMVSS NO. 102, "TRANSMISSION SHIFT LEVER SEQUENCE." A RETAINING CLIP, WHICH SECURES THE MANUAL VALVE TO THE LINKAGE OF THE TRANSMISSION DETENT LEVER, CAN BECOME LOOSE UNDER A COMBINATION OF POSSIBLE DRIVER SHIFTING MANEUVERS AND ALLOW THE LINK TO BECOME DISCONNECTED FROM THE MANUAL VALVE.

Safety Risk

IF THE LINK DISCONNECTS, THE DRIVER'S INDICATED PRNDL STATE MAY DIFFER FROM THE HYDRAULIC STATE OF THE TRANSMISSION. IF THE DRIVER SELECTS 'DRIVE' AND THE TRANSMISSION IS ACTUALLY IN 'REVERSE', A VEHICLE CRASH COULD OCCUR.

Remedy

DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE MANUAL VALVE/LINK ASSEMBLY WITH A REPLACEMENT MANUAL VALVE/LINK KIT, FEATURING A SPRING-TYPE FASTENER.
