1978 PONTIAC LEMANS Recalls — Canada & USA

The 1978 Pontiac LeMans has 5 recalls, the most serious being a rear brake defect where the wheel cylinder can shift out of position, causing brake fluid loss and a significant reduction in rear braking ability. The rear seatbelt anchor bolts are also a concern: the bolt heads can break off during normal use, meaning the belts may not hold occupants in a crash. On the front seat side, vehicles equipped with a front bench seat were fitted with incorrect head restraints that do not meet federal occupant protection standards and can raise the risk of head injury to rear seat passengers in a collision.
