    NHTSA 91V216000 Reported 4,350 vehicles potentially affected GENERAL MOTORS CORP.

    Some chassis were shipped to body builders with damaged fill or vent opening caps on the right-hand side. If a left-hand fill system was installed on the tank, and there was a damaged right-hand cap, the fuel system would not be sealed.

    NHTSA 91V123000 Reported 3,085 vehicles potentially affected GENERAL MOTORS CORP.

    Brakes may have missing rear axle outer bearing retaining ring and or greater than specified bearing end play. Either condition allows the rotor and hub assembly to shift position relative to the spindle. This movement can cause brake caliper piston recede farther than normal into the piston bore which would require greater than normal…

    Remedy: Replace both rear axle hubs.

    Model years: 1990, 1991
