2000 GMC Sierra 3500 recalls
Recall 04V-562: Equipment Adaptive/Mobility
Problem: On certain vans equipped with sure-lok wheelchair securement systems, the sprocket teeth of the retractor assembly is out of alignment.
Risk: In the event of a vehicle crash, the wheelchair may not be adequately secured possibly resulting in injuries to a wheelchair occupant.
Fix: Dealers will inspect and replace the wheelchair securement retractors as necessary. Sure-lok will handle the repairs for this campaign. Owners should contact sure-lock at 1-908-231-1804 or mobilityworks at 1-800-769-8267.
Recall 00V-054: Steering
Problem: Vehicle description: chassis cabs. The tapered hole in the drag link end that attaches to the pitman arm tapered ball stud may be machined too deep causing the hole to be oversized. A drag link with an oversized hole may not "seat" the pitman arm tapered ball when assembled. This could cause higher than normal friction between components during operation, and possibly result in joint separation or a broken ball stud.
Risk: If the joint separated or the ball stud brake while the vehicle was moving, steering control would be lost.
Fix: Dealers will inspect the steering linkage assembly and, if necessary, replace the drag link and the pitman arm.
