1. Tank assembly (fuel system)

   NHTSA 98V187000 Reported August 10, 1998 55,272 vehicles potentially affected GENERAL MOTORS CORP.

   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.

   Remedy: 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.

2. Windshield wiper/washer (visibility)

   NHTSA 98V150001 Reported July 1, 1998 1,557,585 vehicles potentially affected GENERAL MOTORS CORP.

   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.

   Remedy: Dealers will replace the wiper motor circuit board and cover.

3. Seats

   NHTSA 97V037000 Reported March 7, 1997 624,433 vehicles potentially affected GENERAL MOTORS CORP.

   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.

   Remedy: Dealers will install a protector cover over the recliner mechanism.

4. Vehicle speed control

   NHTSA 96V057000 Reported April 4, 1996 379,004 vehicles potentially affected GENERAL MOTORS CORP.

   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."

   Remedy: 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.

5. Steering wheel/handle bar (steering)

   NHTSA 96V004000 Reported January 2, 1996 3,047 vehicles potentially affected GENERAL MOTORS CORP.

   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.

   Remedy: Dealers will torque the suspect fasteners to the proper specifications.

6. Seat belts: front

   NHTSA 95V241000 Reported December 13, 1995 630,099 vehicles potentially affected GENERAL MOTORS CORP.

   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.

   Remedy: Dealers will remove the stitching that creates the energy management loop in the shoulder belt(s).

7. Seat belts: front

   NHTSA 95V242000 Reported December 13, 1995 40 vehicles potentially affected GENERAL MOTORS CORP.

   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."

   Remedy: Dealers will replace the retractor portion of the seat belt assembly(s) with one having the newly designed energy-management twin-loop system.
