The 1991 GMC Jimmy has 6 recalls, the most serious being a fuel tank sender seal that can sit out of position and spill excess fuel in a rollover, creating a fire risk near any ignition source.
Several recalls affect occupant protection. The windshield and side windows may not be adequately bonded to the body, meaning they can separate in a crash and fail to prevent occupants from being ejected. On 4-door models, the rear seatbelt buckle cover can shift and jam the release button in the unlatched position, preventing the buckle from latching at all and leaving rear passengers unrestrained in a crash. Vehicles equipped with anti-lock brakes carry an additional concern: the ABS system can fail in a way that reduces braking performance without any warning to the driver, increasing stopping distance at the moment it is needed most.
