THIS BULLETIN CANCELS AND REPLACES BULLETIN 00100 ISSUED APRIL, 2001.
THIS BULLETIN IS BEING REVISED TO INCLUDE A SERVICE PROCEDURE FOR CERTAIN 1998 VEHICLES THAT MAY REQUIRE THE
REPLACEMENT OF THE UPPER CONSOLE PLATE. ALL COPIES OF BULLETIN 00100 SHOULD BE DESTROYED.
CONDITION
General Motors has decided that certain 1998-2001 GMC Envoys and 2000-2001 GMC Jimmy Diamond Editions fail to conform to Federal/Canada
Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 201, "Occupant Protection in Interior Impacts". These vehicles have a console cover/armrest cam latch that could release
at less than the 10 g vertical load requirement of the standard. During a crash, the console cover could open and the cover or items stored under it could
injure an occupant.
CORRECTION
Dealers are to replace the console latch mechanism.
VEHICLES INVOLVED
Involved are certain 1998-2001 GMC Envoys and 2000-2001 GMC Jimmy Diamond Edition vehicles built within these VIN breakpoints shown.
IMPORTANT:
Dealers should confirm vehicle through GMVIS (GM Vehicle Inquiry System) or GM Access Screen (Canada only) or DCS Screen 445 (IPC only)
before beginning campaign repairs. [Not all vehicles within the above breakpoints may be involved.]
Involved vehicles have been identified by Vehicle Identification Number. Computer listings containing the complete Vehicle Identification Number,
customer name and address data have been prepared, and are being furnished to involved dealers with the campaign bulletin. The customer name and
address data furnished will enable dealers to follow up with customers involved in this campaign. Any dealer not receiving a computer listing with the
campaign bulletin has no involved vehicles currently assigned.
These dealer listings may contain customer names and addresses obtained from Motor Vehicle Registration Records. The use of such motor vehicle
registration data for any other purpose is a violation of law in several states/provinces/countries. Accordingly, you are urged to limit the use of this listing
to the follow-up necessary to complete this campaign.
