GMC Savana Recalls
Summary
Issue: On a small number of vehicles, the head restraint on the front passenger seat may not have been properly welded. As a result, the head restraint could move or detach from the seat in a crash. Safety Risk: A head restraint that moves or detaches in a crash could increase the risk of an injury. Corrective Actions: General Motors will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to inspect and, if necessary, replace the front passenger seat frame.
Summary
Issue: On certain vehicles, a beam inside the driver's door may not have been welded properly. As a result, side impact protection may be reduced in a crash.

Corrective Actions: General Motors will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to replace the driver's door.
Summary
Issue: On certain vehicles, the wrong interior rearview mirror may have been installed during production. As a result, the display for the rearview camera image is missing. Canadian regulations require the rearview image to display when the vehicle is reversing. Note: This recall only affects certain cutaway chassis vehicles. Safety Risk: A rearview camera image that doesn't display could reduce a driver's ability to see behind the vehicle while backing up. This could increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: General Motors will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to inspect and, if necessary, replace the interior rearview mirror.
Summary
Issue: Under certain conditions, a software problem could cause the transmission control module not to work correctly. As a result, there could be reduced power to the wheels, the transmission could shift harshly and/or the rear wheels could lock up. Additionally, at low speeds, this problem could cause the vehicle to move in an unintended direction. Note: This recall only affects vehicles with certain engine and transmission combinations. Safety Risk: Rear wheels that lock suddenly could cause a loss of control and increase the risk of a crash. Additionally, a vehicle that moves in the unintended direction could also increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: General Motors will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to update the transmission control module software.
Summary
Issue: On certain vehicles, the brake lines could become damaged by contact with the body mounts. This could lead to a brake fluid leak and cause reduced braking. Note: This recall only affects certain cutaway chassis vehicles. Safety Risk: Reduced braking can cause extended stopping distances and increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: General Motors will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to inspect and, if necessary, replace the brake lines.
Summary
Issue: On certain vehicles, an unused wiring harness for a rear HVAC blower motor, located in the left B-pillar area, could become damaged if exposed to moisture or contaminants. If this happens, the wires could short circuit. Note: This recall only affects cutaway chassis incomplete vehicles. Safety Risk: A short circuit can create the risk of a fire. Corrective Actions: General Motors will notify owners by mail and instruct you to bring your vehicle to a dealership to seal the wiring for the rear HVAC blower motor at the left B-pillar.
Summary
Issue: On certain vehicles, the positive battery cable terminals could come into contact with the fuse block assembly. If this happens, there could be a short circuit. Safety Risk: A short circuit could create a fire risk. Corrective Actions: General Motors will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to remove part of the anti-rotation tab on both positive battery cable terminals.
Summary
Issue: Certain vehicles were built with tires that may have been cured too long. As a result, the sidewall could crack or the tread and belts could separate. This could lead to a sudden loss of air pressure and could cause a tire failure. Note: This recall only affects certain Continental tires, with specific date codes and mold numbers. Safety Risk: A tire failure could cause a loss of control and increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: General Motors will notify the owners by mail and instruct them to take the vehicle to a dealer to inspect and replace the tires, if necessary.
Summary
Issue: Certain vehicles may have incorrect body control module software. As a result, the immobilization system is not active during the learning procedure for a new "unlearned" blank replacement key could be used during a 30 minute reprogramming procedure to disable the immobilization system. During this time, the vehicle cannot be driven. Safety Risk: This small error does not affect vehicle safety. Corrective Actions: This is not a recall. General Motors has made changes to vehicle software to ensure that all unsold and new vehicles have the correct body control module software.
Summary
Issue: On certain vans, the seat belt and airbag warning lights will not turn on for approximately 5 seconds after the ignition is switched to the ON or start position. Canadian regulations require these lights to turn on to demonstrate that the airbag system is working properly (bulb check) and to remind a driver to fasten their seat belt. Safety Risk: Warning lights that do not turn on during the start-up check could confuse a driver. In addition, the driver would not see a reminder to fasten their seat belt. This could create an increased risk of injury in a crash. Corrective Actions: The company will notify owners by mail and instruct them to take their vehicle to a dealer to reprogram the instrument panel cluster.
