NHTSA recall 77V086000
Steering › Steering wheel/handle bar
Pontiac Astre
The defect
The involved vehicles do not conform to federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 204, "steering control rearward displacement". The construction of the clutch pedal bracket could permit rearward displacement of steering control into passenger compartment in excess of that allowable by the standard during the 30 mph barrier crash test.
The remedy
The dealer will replace the brake and clutch pedal bracket with a bracket of revised design, at no charge to owner.
