Complaints by year received
1995 Chevrolet Blazer recalls (6)
Tap a recall to see the problem, the risk and the fix.
Service brakes, hydraulic:antilock/traction control/electronic limited slip
Problem: Vehicle description: certain 4-wheel drive pickup trucks and sport utility vehicles equipped with abs (antilock braking system) manufactured from september 1989 through august 1996. Under certain driving conditions the switch which signals the abs system whether the vehicle is in 2-wheel or 4-wheel drive can malfunction causing increased stopping distances during abs stops while in the two-wheel drive mode.
Risk: If this occurred at a time when minimum stopping distance was required, a vehicle crash could occur without prior warning.
Fix: Dealers will replace or repair the 4-wheel/2-wheel drive switch.
Visibility:windshield wiper/washer
Problem: Vehicle description: light duty pickup trucks and sport utility vehicles, 2 and 4-wheel drive. Solder joints near the wiring harness connector can crack causing the windshield wipers to work intermittently.
Risk: This condition can result in inoperative wipers, reducing a driver's visibility, and increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.
Fix: Dealers will replace the wiper motor circuit board and cover.
Fuel system, gasoline:storage:tank assembly
Problem: Vehicle description: 4-door, 4-wheel drive and all-wheel drive multi-purpose passenger vehicles. During development testing, the prop shaft contacted the inboard side of the fuel tank allowing fuel leakage. This leakage was in excess of the amount permitted by fmvss 301, "fuel system integrity."
Risk: If an ignition source is present, and there is a fuel leak, a fire could occur.
Fix: Dealers will install additional shielding of the fuel tank. This will be added without removing or disassembling the fuel system.
Engine and engine cooling:cooling system:fan
Problem: Fan blade rivet breakage can occur causing the fan blade to separate from the spider.
Risk: If this occurred while the hood was open, a person working under the hood of the vehicle or in the vicinity of the vehicle could be struck by the fan blade and injured.
Fix: Dealers will inspect and replace, if necessary, the fan with a newer fan having thicker-headed rivets.
Suspension:front:control arm:upper ball joint
Problem: The upper ball joint nuts were under-torqued resulting in improper seating in the steering knuckle.
Risk: This condition can cause the ball joint stud to loosen, and fracture resulting in a loss of steering control.
Fix: Dealers will retorque the upper ball joint nut on both sides of the vehicle to the correct torque values.
Service brakes, hydraulic:pedals and linkages
Problem: The brake pedal pivot bolt was started in the weld nut, but was not torqued correctly causing the bolt to disengage from the weld nut.
Risk: This condition can result in a total loss of brakingcapability.
Fix: Dealers will inspect for hand-started brake pedal bolts and torque them to correct specifications.
