  1. Retractor (seat belts)

    NHTSA 01V159000 Reported 9,196 vehicles potentially affected GENERAL MOTORS CORP.

    Vehicle description: pickup and utility trucks. Some of these vehicles have an internal component in the outboard seat belt retractors for the 2nd and 3rd row of seats that could be cracked. With repeated actuation of the locking mechanism, the crack could spread to the point such that the seat belt would no longer lock.

    Remedy: Dealers will inspect the outboard seat belts for specific lot numbers and replace the belts if necessary. GM is enclosing an inspection procedure for the owners to use or they can have their dealers do the inspections.…

    Model years: 2001

  2. Labels (equipment)

    NHTSA 89V149000 Reported 585 vehicles potentially affected GENERAL MOTORS CORP.

    Trucks may have been produced with incorrect or missing

    Remedy: Install correct certification label.

    Model years: 1989

  3. Engine (engine and engine cooling)

    NHTSA 71V235000 Reported 6,682,084 vehicles potentially affected GENERAL MOTORS CORP.

    There is a possibility that a separated motor mount may allow the engine to lift, which may affect the throttle linkage, momentarily increasing throttle, possibly to full throttle.

    Remedy: Inspect engine mounts and install restraints which will limit engine lift and eliminate possible secondary effects to the throttle linkage due to engine mount separation.

    Model years: 1967, 1968, 1969, 1970
