Known Recall Investigations
  • Tailgate support cables investigation # EA05007

    General motors is conducting a safety recall to remove and replace the tailgate support cables installed in 805,368 model year 1999 and 2000 gmt 800 model vehicles.The model year 1999 and 2000 gmt-800 series vehicles that will be campaigned had contributed a significant majority of the total complaints (87%) and injuries (79%) associated with the tailgate support cable breakage in the model year 1998 - 2000 c/k series vehicles addressed by this investigation.

  • Tailgate support cable breakage investigation # RQ04010

    Odi is upgrading rq04-010 and opening an engineering analysis to further investigate the tailgate support cables installed in 1998, 1999, and partial year 2000 silverados and sierras (c/k models).General motors is conducting recall campaign 04v-129 to replace the tailgate support cables originally installed in certain model year 2000 - 2004 sierras and silverados.General motors has advised odi that the materials used for the tailgate cable sheathing installed in c/k models had inadvertently changed in october 1999, increasing the propensity for voids in and around the galvanized steel cable strands which can allow moisture to wick among the strands, leading to oxidation and weakening of the strands.Since odi initiated rq04-010 in september 2004, odi has received 10 additonal non-injury complaints on my 1998-99 c/k vehicles, but no additional injury complaints.During this same period, gm has received 564 non-injury and 35 injury complaints. Odi has received 6 injury complaints and 38 non-injury complaints from owners of model year 2000 c/k vehicles and requires further investigation to determine whether these incidents occurred in vehicles within the scope of campaign 04v-129 or should be added to the injury summary for rq04-010.

"takata recall" on 02/17/2015 i [xxx] was involved in a single passenger (me) mva at "the macinac bridge" on the north side of the mackinac bridge rolling my truck into the toll booths located on the north end of the macinac bridge in the city of st ignace, mackinac county, michigan. The weather conditions that day were horrible. There were high winds, snow, sleet, rain, and i black ice ! 100% humidity ! After the accident came to a complete stop i opened my eyes and an inflator was launched directly at my head. If it had hit me there i would be dead right now. I reacted quickly by tilting my head to the right and the inflator hit the left side of my head using it as glide path thus changing the trajectory next is what i call the most horrific thing to ever happen in my entire 51 year life span thus far on earth, the inflator blew up off the back-side of my head point blank, changing my life as i know it forever. That day on 02/17/2015 the [xxx] everyone knows and loves actually died. What i can't believe is there is this survivor of one the most horrific recalls in modern day auto history and they label it a "silent recall" that just blows my mind, who ever heard of a "silent recall" and nobody wants to talk with him (me) for some strange reason or else know one who should know has been properly informed? Nor has anyone from gmc or takata called to at least apologize for the lifetime (closed head injury) inconvenience; why? :-((( sincerely, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.S.C. 552(b)(6). *tr

While traversing a freeway overpass going 60 to 65 mph the truck suddenly lurched to the left. Fortunately no immediate traffic on my left. Really frightened me. After much research i discovered that a component (circuit board) of the new "speed sensitive" power steering could fail, making the truck think it was going slower and increase the power steering assist, causing the lurch to the left. This was after having the entire front end of the vehicle checked for alignment, faulty or damaged parts, any adjustments out of spec. They found no cause. I don't actually remember the date and have estimated the date below. I eventually solved the problem (after further research indicating that replacing the circuit board sometimes was only a temporary fix. The solution was installing a "kit" i found online that completely removed the new speed controlled power assistance. I probably had 4 or 5 instances of this occurring, and consider myself extremely fortunate not to have an accident or injury. This was the result of extreme vigilance once i had determined what was happening. During my research i found many reports of the problem, many tried fixes that didn't resolve the problem. One man spent $4000 to have the entire front end of his vehicle replaced, only to have the problem recur. What really bothers me is both why this did not result in a recall, and the fact that this happened so frequently and dealers would not recommend an actual fix, but let customers waste a lot of money "trying to fix" the problem, leaving this safety hazard in place.
