On certain vehicles, the intermediate steering shaft may become loose at the steering shaft to steering gear coupling. With this looseness the yoke pinch bolt can wear on the splines of the shaft until there is no longer an interference between the splines and the bolt. This could cause the steering shaft to separate from the steering gear resulting in a total loss of steering control. Correction: Dealers will retorque the yoke pinch bolts.

On certain P30 vehicles, the front left brake pipe may contact a power steering hose. This could cause the brake pipe to wear through resulting in loss of front braking. If this were to occur while the vehicle was in motion, a crash could occur without prior warning. Correction: dealers will install a new brake pipe with sufficient clearance to prevent contact.

Certain P30 vehicles with a right-hand and left-hand fill fuel tank may have been shipped to body builders with damaged fill and/or vent opening caps on the right-hand side. If a left-hand fill system was installed on the tank by the body builder and there was a damaged right-hand cap, the fuel tank system would not be sealed. Thus, the automatic shutoff system utilized by gas stations would not work, which would allow gasoline to be forced out of the right-hand opening. If an ignition source were present, a fire could result. Correction: Dealer will inspect for a left-hand fill system and install new caps on the unused right-hand fill and vent openings.

If the pivot bolt falls out and the brake is automatically applied, it is possible the amount of braking may be insufficient to hold the vehicle on an incline. Either condition can result in a vehicle roll away and result in an accident. correction: The pivot bolt will be torqued to specification.

1991 Chevrolet P Series recall questions
Transport Canada lists 5 recalls for the 1991 Chevrolet P Series model year. That counts campaigns naming this model year, not recalls on your vehicle: many cover only a VIN range or production window, and some only vehicles found on inspection.
Enter your VIN in Chevrolet's Canadian recall lookup, or call a Chevrolet dealer with your VIN. In Canada the manufacturer is responsible for showing recall and repair status for each VIN, so its lookup is the authoritative answer. Cardog uses your VIN only to find the model year; the recalls shown here are listed for that model year and are not matched to your VIN.
Not necessarily. NHTSA campaigns cover vehicles sold in the United States, and NHTSA's VIN lookup has no Canadian data. When a defect also affects Canadian vehicles, the manufacturer files a separate notice with Transport Canada, often under a different number and sometimes covering a different set of vehicles. For a Canadian vehicle, go by the Transport Canada listing and Chevrolet's Canadian lookup.
Safety recall repairs are normally done at no charge by an authorised Chevrolet dealer. The manufacturer's notice for each campaign sets out the remedy and any conditions, so confirm with the dealer when you book.
Once Chevrolet's lookup or a dealer confirms a recall applies, book the repair with an authorised Chevrolet dealer and bring your VIN. If the manufacturer's notice says not to drive the vehicle or to park it outside, follow that instruction. Parts can take time, so book early.
Follow the manufacturer's notice for that recall. Most allow normal driving until the repair; some tell owners to stop driving or to park outside until it is fixed. Cardog does not grade recalls by severity: the manufacturer's notice and your dealer are the source.
Manufacturers must notify owners they have on record. If you bought the vehicle used or have moved, update your details with Chevrolet Canada so notices reach you, and check the manufacturer's lookup from time to time.
