Chevrolet Tracker Recalls
Summary
Certain vehicles equipped with 2.0L engines may experience a condition where the accelerator may not return to idle. These vehicle, when operated in extremely low ambient temperature (-30 degrees Celsius) and at a fixed (constant) throttle position, may experience ice forming in the throttle valve that can prevent the throttle valve from closing when the driver's foot is removed from the accelerator pedal. Unwanted acceleration could result in a vehicle crash without prior warning. Correction: Dealers will add additional hardware between the intake manifold and the PCV valve to prevent the ice build-up condition.
Summary
Certain vehicles may have mislabeled seat belts intended for 2-door vehicles and installed in the 4-door passenger seatbelt location. If the child seat mode has been engaged or the belt is extended during normal use and then retracted, the belt cannot be extended again and is unusable. The reset function to normal emergency mode does not work because the 2-door belt webbing is shorter. In a crash, an unbelted occupant may receive more severe injuries. Correction: Incorrect seatbelt assemblies will be replaced.
Summary
Certain vehicles do not comply with the requirements of CMVSS 108 - Lighting System and Retroreflective Devices. Vehicles have an inoperative brake lamp activating switch. Correction: Vehicles will be inspected and brake lamp activating switch replaced if necessary.
Summary
On certain vehicles, improper calibration of the powertrain control module (PCM) could result in a no-start condition in cold weather (-15 degrees centigrade or colder). Correction: Dealers will replace the powertrain control module (PCM), install an engine block heater and a customer instruction label. If the owner has experienced a no-start condition, the spark plugs will also be replaced.
Summary
On certain vehicles, the coupling that connects the steering column shaft to the intermediate shaft may be cracked. A cracked coupling could break and allow the steering shafts to separate, resulting in loss of steering control. If this were to occur while the vehicle was in motion, a crash could occur without prior warning. Correction: Steering shaft coupling will be replaced.
Summary
THE (Takata) ABS PLASTIC FRONT SEAT BELT RELEASE BUTTONS ON THESE VEHICLES MAY BREAK ALLOWING PLASTIC PIECES TO FALL INTO THE BUCKLE ASSEMBLY. IF THIS SHOULD HAPPEN, A NO LATCH, FALSE LATCH OR FAILURE TO UNLATCH CONDITION COULD OCCUR CREATING THE RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH OR SUDDEN STOP. CORRECTION: FRONT SEAT BELT BUCKLES WILL BE REPAIRED OR REPLACED AS NECESSARY.
Summary
THE REAR AXLE HOUSING ASSEMBLIES ON THESE VEHICLES MAY HAVE BEEN MANUFACTURED INCORRECTLY, WHICH COULD ALLOW A WELDING FRACTURE AT THE AXLE SHAFT HOUSING TUBE TO THE DIFFERENTIAL CASE. FRACTURE OF THE AXLE SHAFT HOUSING COULD RESULT IN LOSS OF REAR BRAKING AND ADVERSELY AFFECT VEHICLE CONTROL. CORRECTION: REAR AXLE HOUSING ASSEMBLY WILL BE INSPECTED AND REPLACED IF REQUIRED.
Summary
THESE VEHICLES DO NOT COMPLY WITH C.M.V.S.S. 1101 - EMISSION DEVICE. INCORRECT EMISSION LABEL.
