For starters the letters "I", "O", and "Q" never appear in a VIN. So if it looks like a 0 (zero) its not, its an O.

egladman: ALERT! This 1989 PONTIAC BONNEVILLE LE (1G2HX54C0KW247801) has had odometer problems reported to CARFAX from a Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) under the Truth-In-Mileage Act.

This title is the result of the owner certifying, under the Truth-in-Mileage Act, that the odometer reading Exceeds Mechanical Limits of the odometer. Most odometers can no longer accurately track mileage after 99,999 miles because they have 5 digit gauges. To track the correct mileage of a vehicle after a roll over, a Department of Motor Vehicles marks a title with Exceeds Mechanical Limits.

parallelcircuits: Your the first one I browsed really far into and they have an option to look up recalls. Your car is otherwise fine but this is what I found:

Defective part or component: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION:ANTI-THEFT

Description: THESE VEHICLES WERE ASSEMBLED WITH A MALFUNCTION ALARM, LIGHTING AND LOCKING (MALL) MODULE THAT CAN CONTAIN A DAMAGED CAPACITOR. IF THE CAPACITOR IS DAMAGED, THE "KEY IN THE IGNITION" WARNING CHIME AND THE DRIVER SEAT BELT UNBUCKLED WARNING CHIME AND INDICATOR LAMP MAY NOT WORK. THIS DOES NOT MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF FMVSS NO. 114, "THEFT PROTECTION" AND FMVSS NO. 208, "OCCUPANT CRASH PROTECTION." IN ADDITION, OTHER CHIME REMINDER FUNCTIONS, INTERIOR LIGHTING CONTROLS, AND POWER DOOR LOCKING FEATURES ARE ALSO AFFECTED. CONSEQUENCE OF NON-COMPLIANCE; THE DRIVER MAY NOT BE AWARE THAT THE KEY WAS LEFT IN THE IGNITION OR THAT THE SAFETY BELT WAS NOT BUCKLED. DEALERS WILL INSPECT AND, IF REQUIRED, REPLACE THE MALL MODULE.

Doesn't sound like something you need to hurry about. BUT!

Defective part or component: FUEL:FUEL INJECTION:ELECTRICAL

Description: A BACKFIRE DURING ENGINE STARTING CAN CAUSE BREAKAGE OF THE UPPER INTAKE MANIFOLD. THIS CONDITION CAN CAUSE A NO-START CONDITION AND POSSIBLY AN ENGINE COMPARTMENT FIRE. DEALERS WILL UPDATE THE POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE PROGRAMMING. UNTIL THE CAMPAIGN REPAIR IS MADE, THE VEHICLE HOOD SHOULD BE SHUT WHENEVER STARTING THE VEHICLE TO REDUCE THE CHANCE OF PERSONAL INJURY.

Should probably get that done. On to the report:

07/05/2003 Hyundai Motor America No recalls open for repair

On a side note:NHTSA campaign number: 96V015002
Defective part or component:

Description: VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER VEHICLES MANUFACTURED FROM AUGUST 1991 THROUGH JULY 1995. THE TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER LINE CAN SEPARATE WHEN THE VEHICLE IS OPERATED IN LOW TEMPERATURES IN COMBINATION WITH HIGH TRANSMISSION LOADS. VEHICLE FIRES CAN OCCUR DUE TO THE SPILLAGE OF TRANSMISSION FLUID. DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER LINES. SYSTEM: POWER TRAIN; TRANSMISSION; AUTOMATIC; COOLING UNIT AND LINES. VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER VEHICLES WITH L27 OR L67 ENGINES AND 4T60E AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS SOLD OR REGISTERED IN ALASKA, COLORADO, CONNECTICUT, DELAWARE, ILLINOIS, INDIANA, IOWA, KENTUCKY, MAINE, MARYLAND, MASSACHUSETTS, MICHIGAN, MINNESOTA, MONTANA, NEBRASKA, NEW HAMPSHIRE, NEW JERSEY, NEW YORK, NORTH DAKOTA, OHIO, PENNSYLVANIA, RHODE ISLAND, SOUTH DAKOTA, VERMONT, WEST VIRGINIA, WISCONSIN, AND WYOMING.

There are recalls different for each year. These are all FREE right?? Go get it done for the hell of it. Like the 1997 SSEI:
Defective part or component: INTERIOR SYSTEMS:SEAT:MATERIAL

Description: The seat cover trim material does not meet the flammability requirements of FMVSS No. 302, "Flammability of Interior Materials." If an ignition source were present, a vehicle interior fire can occur. Dealers will replace the covers on the front seat backs, rear seat cushion and rear seat back assemblies.

Got a stain?
