The National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act, as amended, provides that each vehicle which is subject to a recall campaign of this type must be
adequately repaired within a reasonable time after the owner has tendered it for repair. A failure to adequately repair within 60 days after tender of a
vehicle is prima facie evidence of failure to repair within a reasonable time.
If the condition is not adequately repaired within a reasonable time, the owner may be entitled to an identical or reasonably equivalent vehicle at no
charge, or to a refund of the purchase price less a reasonable allowance for depreciation.
To avoid having to provide these burdensome solutions, every effort must be made to promptly schedule appointments with owners and to repair their
vehicles as soon as possible. As you will see in reading the attached copy of the letter which is being sent to owners, the owner is being instructed to
contact the GMC Truck Division Consumer Relations Office if the dealer does not remedy the condition within five days of the mutually agreed upon
service date. If the condition is not remedied within a reasonable time they are instructed how to contact the National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration.
Defect & Vehicles Involved
DEFECT INVOLVED
General Motors has decided that a defect, which relates to motor vehicle safety, exists in CERTAIN 1995 C/K model trucks with automatic
transmissions. A condition exists where the transmission shift-cable lock clip may back out of its installed position resulting in a loss of cable adjustment.
Loss of adjustment could cause the transmission to not obtain mechanical "PARK" when the shift lever is placed in the "PARK" position. If this
occurred, the "PARK" indicator light would not illuminate. However, if the driver failed to notice the indicator light was not illuminated and did not
apply the park brake, unwanted vehicle movement could occur.
To correct this condition, dealers will adjust the shift cable and install a redundant lock clip.
VEHICLES INVOLVED
Involved are CERTAIN vehicles (state involved vehicles) built within the VIN breakpoints as shown.
The specific vehicles involved in this campaign have been identified by Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) Computer Listings. These listings are
furnished to all involved dealers with the campaign. Dealers should confirm vehicle eligibility through VISS (Vehicle Information Service System) or
SERVICENET prior to beginning campaign repairs.
