The 1983 GMC Astro has two recalls, the more serious being a cab entry step whose mounting strap can fail at the weld point, causing the step to give way and drop anyone using it to climb in.
The second recall is a compliance issue involving the rear air brake system, which may not release within the time required by Canadian safety standards for air-braked vehicles. Slow brake release can affect stopping behavior and overall braking predictability.
