1995 Chevrolet G30 recalls (2)

Tap a recall to see the problem, the risk and the fix.

Tires:beadJul 1, 1996 · NHTSA campaign 96V117000 · 5,773 vehicles

Problem: These tires have bead damage which occured during tire mounting.

Risk: This damage to the tire reinforcing structure in the bead "toe" area causes a bulge in the sidewall after the tire is inflated. This condition will result in a slow air loss causing the tire to go flat. However, it is possible for the damage to result in a rapid air loss causing injuries to anyone if they were handling the tire when this occurred.

Fix: Dealers will demount each tire and inspect for bead damage. If bead damage is found, the tire will be replaced.

Problem: Due to a thin case casting, an external transmission leak can occur.

Risk: This condition can cause transmission oil to sprayonto the exhaust system and result in a possible vehicle fire.

Fix: Dealers will inspect the transmission case assembly for the involved case casting. If the assembly is involved, the transmission will be replaced.
