2013 GMC SAVANA Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2013 GMC Savana has 6 recalls, with the most serious being three separate fire risks involving seat wiring, unused rear HVAC circuit wiring, and the compressed natural gas fuel system on CNG-equipped models. On the seat wiring issue, this affects vehicles built on Savana chassis by Explorer Van Company: the wiring harness for the seat adjuster and seat heater can slip into the seat riser mechanism, get cut, and short circuit. The unused rear HVAC blower motor circuit, when left with exposed connectors, can corrode and overheat. CNG fuel system-equipped vans face a connector short that can also overheat and ignite. There is also a concern with the ignition: the key can be removed before the vehicle is fully in the off position, which can allow unintended movement. On the occupant safety side, the front passenger airbag may not deploy in lower-severity crashes, raising the injury risk for an unbelted front passenger. Finally, certain vehicles were equipped with fire extinguishers that may not function properly when needed.
