Comments on: #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 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.
