On certain vehicles, the steering gear housing cover screw may have been manufactured out of specification and the axial tension between the screw and gear housing may deteriorate over time. This could allow the screw to gradually loosen, which will cause the steering wheel to exhibit noticeable looseness from the steering assembly. If the vehicle continues to be driven in this condition, the screw may eventually come out of the steering gear housing. If large steering inputs are made with the cover screw missing, the pinion shaft may come out of the steering gear. This may result in a loss of steering control, which could lead to a crash causing property damage, personal injury or death.
No risk description available.
Dealers will inspect whether the steering gear cover screw is loose. If it is loose, it will be retightened to the proper specification. In addition, the dealer will install a cover plate to prevent the screw from possibly coming out of the steering gear.
On certain motorcycles, the fuel tank breather hose may have been kinked during assembly. This could result in fuel flow through the breather hose to be obstructed and the fuel tank internal pressure could become abnormally high or low, causing deformation of the fuel tank, or in some cases could lead to a crack in the fuel tank. If the fuel tank develops a crack, fuel leakage can occur, which in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a fire.
No risk description available.
Dealers will inspect and replace the fuel tank breather hose. If the inspection shows that there was obstructed flow through the breather hose caused by a kink in the hose, the fuel tank will also be replaced.
On certain vehicles, long-term exposure to high absolute humidity and temperature, combined with high temperature cycling, may eventually degrade the propellant contained in the passenger-front airbag. This could cause the airbag to deploy with more force than normal. If the airbag inflator ruptures, fragments could be propelled toward vehicle occupants or cause damage to the airbag assembly, preventing its proper function.
If the vehicle is involved in a crash requiring an airbag deployment, the airbag inflator could rupture and create a risk of injury.
Owners will be notified by mail and instructed to take their vehicle to a dealer to have the passenger-front airbag module replaced. Note: The Canadian climate results in the propellant degrading slowly. This recall is being conducted as a precaution to address future risk. It is expected that all airbag inflators will be replaced before their function would be affected.
General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2015 Chevrolet Silverado HD, and GMC Sierra HD vehicles manufactured February 11, 2014, through February 19, 2014, and equipped with diesel engines and dual fuel tanks. In the affected vehicles, the fuel pipe connections on both sides of the diesel fuel transfer pump may not be properly torqued which may result in a diesel fuel leak.
A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source may result in a vehicle fire.
GM will notify owners, and dealers will tighten the fuel pipe connections to the proper torque. The recall began on May 29, 2014. Owners may contact General Motors customer service at 1-800-222-1020 (Chevrolet), 1-800-462-8782 (GMC). General Motors' number for this recall is 14067.
On certain vehicles, the starter wiring harness may have been routed incorrectly and could chafe. Over time, such chafing could wear through the protective sleeve and cause an electrical short. This condition, if not addressed, may cause a vehicle fire, possibly resulting in property damage, personal injury or death.
No risk description available.
Dealers will inspect and reroute the starter wiring harness.
On certain vehicles, the positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) valve could fail. If you continue to operate the vehicle after this happens, pieces of the PCV valve may enter the engine and cause an engine failure.
A sudden loss of engine power could increase the risk of a crash.
