Does this affect my vehicle?
This recall covers vehicles built between June 1990 and December 1990. If yours was built outside that window, it is not part of this recall.
- 1990 Starship Gemini T-30Built June 1990 to December 1990
What the defect is
During extreme braking application the front axle rolls forward, pushing the steering arm forward, and non-uniform braking effort, caused by various brake component conditions, results in the vehicle pulling to the right.
What could happen
Unexpected pull to the right during brake applicationcould result in loss of steering control and an accident.
What gets fixed
AXLE ROLL WILL BE CORRECTED BY STIFFENING THE UPPER TORQUE ARM TO REDUCE THE ALLOWANCE FOR AXLE ROLL AND RELOCATING THE UPPER TORQUE ARM TO ELIMINATE THE INTERFERENCE WITH THE STEERING ARM. THE NON-UNIFORM BRAKING EFFORT WILL BE CORRECTED BY REPAIRING THE BRAKES IN ACCORDANCE WITH ROCKWELL BRAKE STANDARDS.

Your rights
A safety recall repair is free. Under US federal law the manufacturer must fix a safety defect at no cost to you — no charge for parts, labor or diagnosis — whether or not you are the original owner. A dealer cannot charge you for recall work, and cannot require you to have bought the vehicle from them.
That entitlement is not unlimited. It applies where the vehicle was first sold less than 15 years before the recall was announced — 5 years for tires. Past that a manufacturer may still do the repair free of charge, and many do, but they are no longer obliged to. This recall was reported on 5 April 1993.
To arrange the repair, contact any franchised dealer for the brand. If a dealer refuses the work or tries to charge for it, you can report that to NHTSA at nhtsa.gov/recalls or on 1-888-327-4236.

Everything on this page — the models listed, the build dates and the repair figures — comes from the manufacturer's filing to NHTSA and describes the vehicle line as a whole, not any individual car. Only the manufacturer can confirm whether a specific vehicle is affected, and whether its recall work has already been carried out. Check yours by VIN and read the official notice at nhtsa.gov/recalls.

This page describes the recall, not any one car. To see which recalls cover a specific vehicle, search by make, model and year.
A VIN lookup here identifies your vehicle and shows recalls issued for that make, model and year. It cannot tell you what is still open on your individual car - only the manufacturer knows that. Search by VIN instead, or check your VIN at nhtsa.gov for whether a recall is still open on your individual car.
