Recall 03V217000: Rear License Plate Lamp Socket Defect
DEFECT: Certain passenger vans have a condition in which water may enter and corrode the rear license plate lamp socket. If the lamp socket were to
corrode, the rear license plate lamp may operate intermittently or not at all, and the left rear tail lamp may become inoperative. The temperature of the
license plate lamp socket could increase to the point that it may begin to soften and melt. Eventually, the plastic could ignite and a fire could occur.
REMEDY: Dealers will install a new sealed rear license plate lamp socket assembly. The manufacturer has reported that owner notification is expected
to begin during July 2003. Owners may contact Chevrolet at 1-8000-222-1020 or GMC at 1-800-462-8782.
