2009 GMC SAVANA Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2009 GMC Savana has 6 recalls, the most serious being unused wiring for an optional rear HVAC system that can corrode and overheat, raising the risk of a fire. On vehicles converted with certain Ricon wheelchair lifts, the lift platform can overrun the vehicle floor level and stop at an angle steep enough to tip a wheelchair or cause someone standing on the platform to fall. There are also two related occupant safety concerns: the front passenger airbag system may not provide adequate protection in lower-speed crashes, meaning an unbelted front passenger faces a higher risk of injury if their head strikes the instrument panel. A separate piece of safety equipment is also affected — certain fire extinguishers included with these vehicles may fail to function properly when needed. On the interior side, the HVAC control knobs can fracture and spin freely on their shafts, leaving the driver unable to adjust heating, cooling, or ventilation.
