Engine and engine cooling:engine:gasoline
Problem: Certain medium duty c-series and b7 school bus chassis equipped with a 7.4 liter gas engine and an impco lpg conversion kit. Some of these vehicles may have engine backfires with sufficient force to damage the engine air intake system and the air cleaner filter element.
Risk: If the damaged air cleaner parts are dislodged from their normal position, these parts could come in contact with the hot exhaust manifold and/or hot exhaust gas recirculation (egr) valve tube resulting in a possible engine compartment fire.
Fix: Dealers will install a redesigned mixer bonnet and air cleaner housing cover, selective upgrades in various connections related to the air induction system, and if needed, a new air cleaner filter.

Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact chevrolet at 1-800-222-1020 or gmc at 1-800-462-8782.
Service brakes, air:antilock
Problem: Vehicle description: school buses, medium duty trucks and tractors built with bendix air abs with an ec-17 1030r electronic control unit (ecu), there have been reports of unwanted abs activation at low speeds caused by 1) chafed abs wheel speed sensor wires on rotating parts or 2) a damaged component at the wheel end that generates a certain type of erratic sensor signal.
Risk: This condition could cause the abs ecu to exhaust the air at the air brake modulators for one or more of the wheels. This could result in extended braking distances and a possible crash.
Fix: Dealers will replace the abs ecu.
Power train:automatic transmission
Problem: Vehicle description: medium duty trucks. The transmission fluid could leak from a heat degraded transmission fluid cooler hose onto the exhaust system on the passenger's side of the vehicle.
Risk: This condition could result in a fire.
Fix: Dealers will install a new transmission fluid cooler inlet hose and outlet hose designed with a heat sleeve and ensure adequate clearance to the exhaust system take-down pipe. Dealers will also inspect the right-hand exhaust manifold seal for leakage, and replace if necessary.
