Power Train › Automatic Transmission › Cooling Unit And Lines — GMC · reported 1 Jan 1996 · 5,220 vehicles potentially affected
What's wrong
THIS IS NOT A SAFETY RECALL IN ACCORDANCE WITH FEDERAL REGULATION 573. HOWEVER, IT IS DEEMED A SAFETY IMPROVEMENT CAMPAIGN BY THE AGENCY. THE TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER HOSE ASSEMBY CAN RUPTURE.
The risk
THIS CAN RESULT IN LOSS OF SUFFICIENT TRANSMISSION FLUID TO CAUSE THE TRANSMISSION TO STOP TRANSMITTING POWER TO THE REAR WHEELS AND COULD ALSO CAUSE SEVERE TRANSMISSION DAMAGE.
The fix
DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE SUSPECT TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER HOSES WITH PARTS THAT MEET SPECIFICATIONS.
NOTE: GENERAL MOTORS HAS DECIDED TO CONDUCT A SAFETY IMPROVEMENT SERVICE CAMPAIGN TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER HOSES WITHOUT CHARGE. OWNERS CAN CONTACT GMC AT 1-800-462-8782.
