1996 GMC K35 recalls (2)
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.
Suspension:rear:springs:leaf spring assembly:u-bolt, leaf spring to axle
Problem: The four u-bolts nuts on either side of the rear axle were under-torqued.
Risk: Vehicle usage could cause the nuts to loosen and eventually fall off the u-bolt. This could result in sudden loss of vehicle control increasing the potential for a vehicle crash.
Fix: Dealers will check the u-bolt nut torque and re-torque any loose u-bolts to specification.
