## United States (NHTSA), as of 2026-10-19

- [96V226000](/recalls/nhtsa/96V226000.md), 1996-11-04: SEATS. THE RECLINER MECHANISM AND THE SEAT FRAME MAY HAVE FOAM AND/OR VINYL VETWEEN THEM, CREATING A "SOFT" JOINT.  THIS "SOFT" JOINT RESULTS IN LOWER THAN SPECIFIED BOLT TORQUE WHICH LEADS TO JOINT LOOSENESS, CAUSING BOLT FATIGUE AND EVENTUAL BOLT FAILURE. Built 1990\-03\-01 to 1991\-08\-01.
- [93V016000](/recalls/nhtsa/93V016000.md), 1993-02-01: POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. UNANTICIPATED HEAT IN THE TRANSMISSION CAN FORCE THE TRANSMISSION FLUID OUT OF THE VENT TUBE. Built 1986\-12\-01 to 1992\-08\-01.

## Canada (Transport Canada), as of 2026-10-19

- [1995096](/recalls/tc/1995096.md), 1995-06-01: Fuel System. On certain vehicles, the service\-part fuel tanks may have one or more pairs of the six projection welds which attach the sender\-unit ring to the tank that do not meet specification. These out of specification welds may fracture during sender unit installation resulting in fuel leakage and a possible vehicle fire. Note: recall covers 1975\-1986 chevrolet/gmc c/k pickup and chassis cab trucks and 1987\-1991 chevrolet/gmc r/v pickup and chassis cab trucks. Correction: vehicles with fractured sender ring weld pairs will have a new fuel tank installed.
- [1993153](/recalls/tc/1993153.md), 1993-11-15: Seats And Restraints. ON VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH BUCKET SEATS WITH KNOB TYPE RECLINER MECHANISMS, A FRONT SEAT RECLINER BOLT MAY FATIGUE AND BREAK. THIS MAY ALLOW THE SEAT BACK TO SUDDENLY RECLINE, WHICH CAN LEAD TO SUDDEN LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL.  CORRECTION: RECLINER BOLTS WILL BE REPLACED ON AFFECTED VEHICLES.
- [1993120](/recalls/tc/1993120.md), 1993-08-20: Brakes. On certain K1500, Astro, Safari and Suburban vehicles, corrosion of the composite front brake rotors could cause separation of the stamped steel centre section from the cast outer rotor resulting in complete loss of braking capability for the affected wheel and a partial loss of front braking. This would increase stopping distances and could result in a crash without prior warning. Correction: Dealers will replace both front brake rotors with rotors having a corrosion protective coating.
