  1. Latch (latches/locks/linkages)

    NHTSA 99V126000 Reported 282 vehicles potentially affected GENERAL MOTORS CORP.

    Vehicle description: chevrolet and GMC g vans equipped with sliding side doors and remedied during safety campaign (95v197/95-c-58) between july 18, 1997 and february 6, 1999. The sliding side-door rear latch was replaced with a latch that was improperly riveted.

    Remedy: Dealers will replace the sliding door rear latch.

    Model years: 1995

  2. Latch (latches/locks/linkages)

    NHTSA 95V197000 Reported 936 vehicles potentially affected GENERAL MOTORS CORP.

    These vehicles were built with a sliding side-door rear latch that was improperly riveted. This does not meet the requirements of FMVSS no. 206, "door locks and door retention components."

    Remedy: Dealers will replace the sliding door rear latch on all suspect vehicles.

    Model years: 1995

  3. Wheels

    NHTSA 94V053000 Reported 1,793 vehicles potentially affected GENERAL MOTORS CORP.

    These vehicles were equipped with incorrect spare wheels. The use of an incorrect spare wheel in a mounted position can, under certain load conditions, eventually cause the wheel to crack and possibly separate from the vehicle.

    Model years: 1993

  4. Automatic transmission (power train)

    NHTSA 91V183000 Reported 10,642 vehicles potentially affected GENERAL MOTORS CORP.

    A misadjusted transmission cable can allow the engine to be started while the transmission is in a forward or reverse drive gear.

    Remedy: Reset the transmission cable routing to a revised pathway.

    Model years: 1992

  5. Switch (exterior lighting)

    NHTSA 79V142000 Reported 15,328 vehicles potentially affected GENERAL MOTORS CORP.

    On the involved vehicles the brake stoplight and cruise control switch which is operated by the brake pedal may have been assembled with an incorrect lubricant on the actuating plunger. This can cause the rear brake stoplights to become inoperative and the cruise control, if activated, to stay electrically engaged.

    Remedy: Dealer will inspect and, if necessary, replace the brake stoplight and cruise control switch at no cost to owner.

    Model years: 1979

  6. Hoses, lines/piping, and fittings (fuel system)

    NHTSA 78V107000 Reported 226 vehicles potentially affected GENERAL MOTORS CORP.

    On the involved vehicles, an interference condition may exist between the carburetor fuel pipe assembly and the air conditioning bracket. This could eventually cause the pipe to wear through due to vibration and fuel pressure pulsation.

    Remedy: Dealer will inspect and, if necessary, reposition the carburetor fuel pipe at no charge.

    Model years: 1978

  7. Hoses, lines/piping, and fittings (service brakes)

    NHTSA 76V198000 Reported 28,436 vehicles potentially affected GENERAL MOTORS CORP.

    Model years: 1977
