1989 GMC SAFARI Recalls — Canada & USA

The 1989 GMC Safari has 3 recalls, the most serious affecting automatic transmission models where the transmission control rod can separate from the steering column shift lever, leaving the shift indicator showing the wrong gear and potentially causing the driver to move the vehicle in an unintended direction. The spare tire hoist cable can corrode and snap on vehicles regularly exposed to road salt, dropping the spare tire onto the roadway and creating a hazard for following traffic. There is also a compliance recall related to engine cam gear orientation that causes certain vehicles to fall outside exhaust emissions standards.
