THE FAN ASSEMBLY HAS SEVEN FAN BLADES AND IS IDENTIFIED BY PART NUMBER 336032 ON EACH FAN BLADE. IF THE VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH THE FLEXIBLE FAN ASSEMBLY, YOU SHOULD REPLACE THE FAN.

GM RECOMMENDS THAT YOU NEVER STAND IN LINE WITH OR NEAR THE ENGINE COOLING FAN WHEN REVVING THE ENGINE. FOR THE OWNER'S PROTECTION, THE HOOD SHOULD BE CLOSED WHEN REVVING THE ENGINE.

On certain vehicles operated in areas of high salt use, the spare tire hoist cable may corrode and eventually break. This would allow the spare tire to fall off the vehicle possibly resulting in a road hazard for other vehicles. Correction: A letter will be sent to owners of affected vehicles with maintenance and inspection instructions for spare tire hoist cable assemblies. Additionally, the letter will advise the owner that, if the cable breaks during that inspection, their dealer will repair the assembly. This policy will be in effect until December 31, 2002.

Certain extended cab pickup trucks equipped with high-back bucket seats may have the seat recliner to seat frame attaching bolts loosen, fatigue and fracture, allowing the seat back to suddenly recline. If this were to occur on the driver's seat while the vehicle was in motion, it could lead to sudden loss of vehicle control and a crash without prior warning. Correction: Dealers will remove all foam and/or fabric sandwiched between the recliner assembly and the seat frame, install washers between the seat recliner and the seat frame at each attachment point, and install new attaching bolts torqued to a higher specification.

Certain vehicles were built with the polarity of the wiring for the zero adjust brake switch reversed from what was specified. Reversed polarity will cause the contacts of the switch to wear out prematurely. When the contacts wear out they will fail to close when the brake pedal is applied, resulting in the loss of the brake lamps without any warning to the driver. This could result in failure to warn a following driver that the vehicle is braking and could lead to a crash. Correction: Dealers will replace the brake switch and reverse the wiring.
