On certain vehicles, the service-part fuel tanks may have one or more pairs of the six projection welds which attach the sender-unit ring to the tank that do not meet specification. These out of specification welds may fracture during sender unit installation resulting in fuel leakage and a possible vehicle fire. Note: recall covers 1975-1986 chevrolet/gmc c/k pickup and chassis cab trucks and 1987-1991 chevrolet/gmc r/v pickup and chassis cab trucks. Correction: vehicles with fractured sender ring weld pairs will have a new fuel tank installed.
On certain C20, G1, G3 and K20 vehicles, the differential shaft lock screw loosens and falls out. Either the lock screw or the cross pin can become lodged in the rotating parts of the axle, which can cause extensive damage to the axle. If this were to occur while the vehicle was in motion, it could result in loss of vehicle control and an accident.
Certain vehicles do not comply with section 6 of the motor vehicle safety regulations - statement of compliance.
On certain Blazer, Jimmy and C10 vehicles, the rear brake drums may exhibit an interference condition between the rear brake drum balance weights and aluminum wheels. This condition could cause loss of wheel lug nut torque and wheel stud failure could occur which would allow the tire and wheel assembly to separate from the vehicle when the vehicle is in motion. This could result in loss of control and possible vehicle crash.
On certain vehicles, the rear axle shafts may have been improperly heat treated. As a result the shaft may break which could allow the wheel assembly to separate from the vehicle possibly causing loss of control and vehicle crash.
