1993 PONTIAC SUNBIRD Recalls — Canada & USA

The 1993 Pontiac Sunbird has two recalls, the more serious being a throttle that can stick open in cold weather, preventing the engine from returning to idle and raising the risk of a crash. On four-cylinder models, water can freeze inside the accelerator cable housing during cold weather, causing the cable to bind so the throttle stays open even after the driver lifts off the pedal. The second recall affects four-door models with two-way manual seat adjusters: the driver's seat mechanism may have been built incorrectly, placing the shoulder belt contact point outside the required zone when the seat is slid all the way back, which means the belt may not restrain the driver properly in a crash.
