#4 GM 1981 (5.8 million vehicles): Some drivers learned the hard way that suspension bolts in certain GM models had a way of wiggling themselves loose. The result? The loss of ability to steer the car. In 1981, GM offered to replace the dubious bolts in the Century, Regal, El Camino, Malibu, Monte Carlo, Caballero, Cutlass, Grand Prix, and Lemans.

I drove Bugs and micro busses exclusively for almost 20 yrs. I never heard of the wiper arm recall and never had any trouble with them. The 1st recall I ever heard about was on full size Chevvies breaking motor mounts. The heeled over engine would jam the throttle linkage wide open. The fix was a sort cable to prevent the engine from leaning.
