THIS BULLETIN CANCELS AND REPLACES GMC TRUCK SERVICE BULLETIN 91-10-80, DATED MARCH 1991 TO CORRECT THE VIN
BREAKPOINTS. ALL COPIES OF 91-10-80 SHOULD BE DISCARDED.
Some of the above subject vehicles may experience a binding condition during sliding door opening. This condition can be caused by a broken or worn
center track roller bearing. If the center track roller bearing breaks or has excessive wear, the sliding door operating effort increases and may deform the
center track. This condition may occur when opening or shutting the door.
To correct this condition, it is necessary to replace the center track roller bracket and center track assembly then install a new lower track striker/bumper
assembly. A new lower track striker/bumper assembly is necessary to prevent door components from being damaged when the door is forcefully opened.
The only difference between the new lower track striker/bumper assembly and original assembly is bolt hole locations. The hole locations have been
moved rearward approximately 15 mm.
VEHICLES INVOLVED
Use the new striker/bumper assembly on vehicles built prior to the following 1991 VINS:
