The 1995 GMC Safari has 5 recalls, with the most serious being two separate defects that can each cause a crash or fire: fuel lines at the tank that can loosen and leak, creating a fire risk under the hood, and a left front lower control arm bolt that can fatigue and break, causing sudden loss of steering control.
The fuel line and control arm issues each appear across multiple filings describing the same underlying defect, and prior repair attempts may not have fully resolved either problem. On the visibility side, the windshield wiper motor can fail due to cracked solder joints on its circuit board, causing the wipers to work intermittently or stop entirely, which reduces the driver's ability to see during rain or snow.

What can fail

What the fix does
The dealer will tighten the left lower control arm-to-frame rear nut to the correct torque specification.
