  1. Seats

    NHTSA 90V029000 Reported 6,098 vehicles potentially affected GENERAL MOTORS CORP.

    Remedy: Replace seat pedestals with pedestals having proper slot size.

    Model years: 1987, 1988, 1989

  2. Seats

    NHTSA 86V117000 Reported 46 vehicles potentially affected GENERAL MOTORS CORP.

    Three bolts which attach the sill that supports the base of the seat were omitted; therefore vehicles do not comply with FMVSS 210 and FMVSS 207. Consequence of defect: in the event of a crash, the floor plate could buckle along the inboard side causing the seat pedestal to be imbalanced, and increasing the likelihood of injury to the…

    Remedy: Install missing bolts.

    Model years: 1984, 1985

  3. Tie rod assembly (steering)

    NHTSA 86V114000 Reported 619 vehicles potentially affected GENERAL MOTORS CORP.

    During a combined cornering and braking maneuver, the tie rod end could contact the tire wall. Consequence of defect: this contact can cause grooving of the tire, which could eventually result in tire failure and possibly a vehicle crash without prior warning.

    Remedy: Replace 16" wheels and tires with 19 1/2" wheels and tires; also, replace speedometer gear to compensate for new size wheels and tires.

    Model years: 1985

  4. Rim (wheels)

    NHTSA 85V156000 Reported 861 vehicles potentially affected GENERAL MOTORS CORP.

    The wheel may develop cracks between the disc and rim. Consequence of defect: if this occurs and is not noticed, the crack could increase around the rim, resulting in separation of the rim from the disc, loss of control and an accident may occur.

    Remedy: Replace wheels having the suspected manufacturing code number.

    Model years: 1985

  5. Fan (engine and engine cooling)

    NHTSA 85V128000 Reported 383 vehicles potentially affected GENERAL MOTORS CORP.

    The fan blade, when subjected to high stress levels, can fatigue and break apart at the hub while the engine is running. Consequence of defect: if breakage occurs while hood is open, a person working under the hood or near the truck could be struck by a blade part and be injured.

    Remedy: Replace engine fan.

    Model years: 1982, 1983, 1984, 1985

  6. Filler pipe and cap (fuel system)

    NHTSA 84V133000 Reported 11,305 vehicles potentially affected GENERAL MOTORS CORP.

    Due to a manufacturing problem with the fuel tank filler pipe, the fuel cap may improperly seal the end of the filler pipe. This fails to conform to the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard 301, "fuel system integrity." in the event of a collision, an improperly sealed filler pipe could allow fuel spillage.

    Remedy: The dealer will inspect and replace fuel caps on all affected vehicles without charge.

    Model years: 1984

  7. Indicator light (parking brake)

    NHTSA 78V205000 Reported 1,252 vehicles potentially affected GENERAL MOTORS CORP.

    The parking brake switch connector contains electrical wires that may be reversed. As a result, the lamp will be activated whenever the ignition is turned on, even though the parking brake is not engaged. This constitutes a non-compliance to federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 105, "hydraulic brake systems". The standard requires…

    Remedy: Dealer will inspect and, if necessary, correct the parking brake switch wiring without charge to owner.

    Model years: 1978

  8. Labels (equipment)

    NHTSA 78V206000 Reported 1,688 vehicles potentially affected GENERAL MOTORS CORP.

    The involved vehicles do not have a brake fluid reservoir warning which states, "warning, clean filler cap before removing. Use only DOT 3 fluid from a sealed container". This constitutes a non-compliance to federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 105, "hydraulic brake systems".

    Remedy: The dealer will install the brake fluid reservoir warning plate without charge to owner.

    Model years: 1978

  9. Tank assembly (fuel system)

    NHTSA 78V207000 Reported 2,024 vehicles potentially affected GENERAL MOTORS CORP.

    The fuel tank fusible bushing element may have melted due to extremely high temperatures encountered when the tanks were exposed to direct sunlight rays during chassis storage.

    Remedy: The dealer will inspect and, if necessary, replace the fuel tank vent plug without charge to owner.

    Model years: 1978
