Rear Door Limiter: All Technical Service Bulletins
Doors - Rear Cargo Door Limiter Correction
Group Ref.: Body
Bulletin No.: 361012A
Date: April, 1994
SUBJECT:
REAR CARGO DOOR INNER PANEL CRACKED OR BROKEN
(INSTALL REINFORCEMENT PLATE AND CHECK STRAP)
MODELS:
1989-93 CHEVROLET AND GMC TRUCK G VANS
THIS BULLETIN IS BEING REVISED TO CHANGE THE WARRANTY INFORMATION. PLEASE DISCARD BULLETIN 361012.
CONDITION:
Some owners may comment that the right hand or left hand rear cargo door inner panel has started to crack in the attachment area of the door check strap
bracket. They may also comment that the door check attachment bolts will not hold torque.
CAUSE:
Repeated opening and closing of the rear cargo door can cause the inner panel to flex when over-coming the over-center load of the check strap. This
condition is more apparent on vehicles that are used in situations that require frequent cycling of the doors (i.e. delivery vehicles).
CORRECTION:
A new reinforcement plate (P/N 15988857), similar to the reinforced inside door panel currently used in 1994 G Van production, has been released to
address this condition. The reinforcement plate should be installed along with a new check strap (P/N 15963207). The check strap has a four bolt
attachment bracket that allows the load to be spread over a larger area of the inner panel.
SERVICE PROCEDURE:
