1995 Chevrolet K30 recalls (3)
Tap a recall to see the problem, the risk and the fix.
Tires:bead
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.
Vehicle speed control
Problem: These vehicles were assembled with the throttle cable contacting the dash mat which could bind the throttle. This does not meet with the maximum return times required by federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 124, "accelerator control systems."
Risk: Consequence of non-compliance: the engine speed may not return to idle increasing the potential for a vehicle accident.
Fix: Dealers will inspect for adequate throttle cable to dash mat clearance, and if there is insufficient clearance, cut out a portion of the dash mat to provide proper clearance.
Power train:automatic transmission:cooling unit and lines
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.
