2000 Chevrolet S10 recalls
Equipment: other, labels
NHTSA campaign 00V258001 · reported September 8, 2000 · GENERAL MOTORS CORP. · 223,194 vehicles potentially affected
- The problem
- Vehicle description: light duty pickup trucks and sport utility vehicles. Some of these vehicles were built with incorrect payload information on the vehicle certification label. The payload shown on the label is greater than the maximum validated payload. If the vehicle were loaded to the incorrectly labeled payload, it may not ride and handle in the manner that the driver expects.
- The risk
- This could result in a loss of control of the vehicle or an inability to stop the vehicle within expected stopping distances.
- The fix
- Owners will be sent a new label for installation on the driver's door of the vehicle.
Seat belts
NHTSA campaign 00V228003 · reported August 7, 2000 · GENERAL MOTORS CORP. · 156,305 vehicles potentially affected
- The problem
- Vehicle description: passenger vehicles, light duty trucks, sport utility vehicles, and mini vans equipped with trw seat belt buckle assemblies. The buckle base of these seat belt assemblies were not properly heat treated and therefore do not pass the load bearing requirement of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 209, "seat belt assemblies."
- The risk
- In the event of a vehicle crash, the occupant may not be properly restrained.
- The fix
- Dealers will inspect the vehicle's safety belt buckle assembly date codes and, if necessary, will replace any safety belt buckle assembly.
Service brakes, hydraulic: antilock/traction control/electronic limited slip
NHTSA campaign 00V055000 · reported February 28, 2000 · GENERAL MOTORS CORP. · 10,674 vehicles potentially affected
- The problem
- Vehicle description: light duty pickup trucks equipped with 4-wheel disc brakes. Some of these vehicles have an antilock brake system (ABS) motor containing an out-of-specification spring clip. This clip could allow the motor bearing to become misaligned. If misalignment occurs, eventually the ABS would be non-functional.
- The risk
- The base brakes would remain fully functional, but the dynamic rear proportioning (drp) system, which optimizes front to rear brake balance, would become inoperative.
- The fix
- Dealers will replace the brake pressure module valve assembly.
Service brakes, hydraulic: antilock/traction control/electronic limited slip
NHTSA campaign 99V220000 · reported August 11, 1999 · GENERAL MOTORS CORP. · 3,947 vehicles potentially affected
- The problem
- Vehicle description: s -trucks equipped with 2 wheel drive. These vehicles may have had the right-hand antilock brake system (ABS) module feed pipe and/or brake crossover pipe tube nuts tightened without seating the pipe-flared-ends enough to withstand normal assembly and vehicle inputs without partially unseating. This does not comply with requirements of FMVSS no. 105, "hydraulic service brake normal, emergency, and park braking performance."
- The risk
- If this occurred, the seating seal could be broken during vehicle assembly, or from early road inputs or brake fluid cycling, and a leak could occur increasing the brake stopping distance.
- The fix
- Dealers will inspect the brake pipe union for signs of brake fluid, and if necessary, install a new brake pipe union.
