1996 GMC G25 recalls (2)
Tap a recall to see the problem, the risk and the fix.
Electrical system:wiring:fuses and circuit breakers
Problem: Water intrusion into the kick panel areas in front of both the driver and passenger doors can cause a corrosion path between the battery feed and the electrical ground.
Risk: This condition can cause an electrical short leading to ignition and combusion of the plastics in the electrical components of the vehicle resulting in a vehicle fire.
Fix: Dealers will replace the 25 amp circuit breakers with 25 amp fuses in the fuse block; remove a temporary paper fuse-block cover; install a plastic shield over the fuse block; replace and reorient the power door lock relay (if equipped); inspect the remote keyless entry module (if equipped) for signs of corrosion, replace if corroded, and reorient it; and apply additional body sealer in key areas.
Steering:linkages
Problem: The steering linkage assemby contains a relay rod tapered-stud attachment nut that was not torqued to proper specifications.
Risk: The tapered stud can loosen and the driver would notice a lag in the responsiveness to steering wheel inputs. Eventually the relay rod stud can fracture resulting loss of steering control.
Fix: Dealers will remove the existing crimped nut and install a new nut torqued to specifications.
