98V187000Received 10 Aug 1998. 55,272 units.
Fuel System, Gasoline / Storage / Tank Assembly
Defect, in the NHTSA record
Vehicle description: crew cab pickup trucks. The front, inner corner of the fuel tank can contact the body sill either intermittently or constantly. This movement can cause a discernible noise and, over time, can wear a hole in or crack the fuel tank at point of contact.
Consequence, in the NHTSA record
This condition can result in fuel leakage and a distinct fuel odor if the tank were filled above the level of the hole or crack. In the presence of an ignition source, a fire could result.
Remedy, in the NHTSA record
Dealers will inspect the fuel tank for wear and, either install a spacer between the fuel tank and the front crossmember, or if necessary, replace the fuel tank.
Report filed by GENERAL MOTORS CORP.. Owner notification date in the NHTSA record: 24 Aug 1998.
98V150001Received 1 Jul 1998. 1,557,585 units.
Visibility / Windshield Wiper/Washer
Defect, in the NHTSA record
Vehicle description: light duty pickup trucks and sport utility vehicles, 2 and 4-wheel drive. Solder joints near the wiring harness connector can crack causing the windshield wipers to work intermittently.
Consequence, in the NHTSA record
This condition can result in inoperative wipers, reducing a driver's visibility, and increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.
Remedy, in the NHTSA record
Dealers will replace the wiper motor circuit board and cover.
Report filed by GENERAL MOTORS CORP.. Manufacturer campaign number 98043. Owner notification date in the NHTSA record: 15 Dec 1998.
97V037000Received 7 Mar 1997. 624,433 units.
Seats
Defect, in the NHTSA record
Vehicle description: extended cab and 2-door utility vehicles equipped with reclining seats and the easy-entry feature. These vehicles exhibit a condition in which a pinch point exists in the recliner mechanism that can trap and pinch a person's hand or finger(s) when the easy-entry feature is activated.
Consequence, in the NHTSA record
This pinching can cut the hand or possibly sever the finger(s) without prior warning.
Remedy, in the NHTSA record
Dealers will install a protector cover over the recliner mechanism.
Report filed by GENERAL MOTORS CORP..
96V057000Received 4 Apr 1996. 379,004 units.
Vehicle Speed Control
Defect, in the NHTSA record
These vehicles were assembled with the throttle cable contacting the dash mat which could bind the throttle. This does not meet with the maximum return times required by federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 124, "accelerator control systems."
Consequence, in the NHTSA record
Consequence of non-compliance: the engine speed may not return to idle increasing the potential for a vehicle accident.
Remedy, in the NHTSA record
Dealers will inspect for adequate throttle cable to dash mat clearance, and if there is insufficient clearance, cut out a portion of the dash mat to provide proper clearance.
Report filed by GENERAL MOTORS CORP.. Owner notification date in the NHTSA record: 11 Apr 1996.
96V004000Received 2 Jan 1996. 3,047 units.
Steering / Steering Wheel/Handle Bar
Defect, in the NHTSA record
The steering column upper intermediate-shaft nut may not be torqued to proper specifications. The nut could loosen and detach allowing the through-bolt that secures the upper intermediate-shaft to the lower steering column shaft joint to fall out.
Consequence, in the NHTSA record
This loose engagement can provide noticeable noise and abnormal steering feeling to the driver and, if left unattended, the steering shafts can separate resulting in a loss of steering control.
Remedy, in the NHTSA record
Dealers will torque the suspect fasteners to the proper specifications.
Report filed by GENERAL MOTORS CORP.. Owner notification date in the NHTSA record: 19 Jan 1996.
95V241000Received 13 Dec 1995. 630,099 units.
Seat Belts / Front
Defect, in the NHTSA record
If both the lap-belt and shoulder-belt energy management loops on the front seat belt assemblies release at or near the same time, acceleration forces can cause the buckle release mechanism to activate and allow the buckle to separate from the latch.
Consequence, in the NHTSA record
If the buckle released, the system would fail to provide adequate occupant restraint protection.
Remedy, in the NHTSA record
Dealers will remove the stitching that creates the energy management loop in the shoulder belt(s).
Report filed by GENERAL MOTORS CORP.. Owner notification date in the NHTSA record: 14 Mar 1996.
95V242000Received 13 Dec 1995. 40 units.
Seat Belts / Front
Defect, in the NHTSA record
These vehicles were built with front seat belt systems with no energy management loops and may not meet the head injury criteria requirements of FMVSS no. 208, "occupant crash protection."
Consequence, in the NHTSA record
In the event of a vehicle crash, the occupants of these seats may not be properly restrained.
Remedy, in the NHTSA record
Dealers will replace the retractor portion of the seat belt assembly(s) with one having the newly designed energy-management twin-loop system.
