Campaign:
97V142000 on 08/28/1997
Component:
Steering:gear box (other than rack and pinion)
Manufactured:
03/31/1997 - 08/14/1997
Affected:
3,957
Defect:
Vehicle description: light duty extended-cab pickup trucks and 4-door utility trucks. the lower steering shaft to steering gear pinch bolt is "finger loose" or missing allowing the bolt to loosen and fall out. the steering shaft yoke can wear causing an off center steering wheel.
Consequence:
Relative movement between the chassis and cab can cause the steering shaft to separate from the steering gear. this condition can result in a loss of steering control increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.
Correction:
Dealers are arranging to have the vehicles involved towed to the dealership and alternate transportation is being arranged for owners. dealers will then inspect the vehicle for the presence of a pinch bolt and torque this bolt to proper specifications.
Notes:
Owner notification began august 20, 1997. owners who have not been contacted by their dealer should contact chevrolet at 1-800-222-1020 or gmc at 1-800-462-8782 as soon as possible.also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-800-424-9393.

Component:

Manufactured:
09/30/1997 - 10/30/1997
Affected:

Defect:
Vehicle description: light duty pickup trucks and multi-purpose passenger vehicles. one or both front brake rotor/hubs were built with an out-of-specification gray iron that can fail during the life of the vehicle.
Consequence:

Correction:
Dealers will inspect the rotors for a core date of "287" and, if found, replace the rotor.
Notes:
Owner notification is expected to begin during march 1998. owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact chevrolet at 1-800-222-1020 or gmc at 1-800-462-8782.also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-888-dash-2-dot (1-888-327-4236).

Defect:
Certain honeywell fram racing brand hp4 and hp8 oil filters that were manufactured from may 25, 2006, through september 14, 2007, and sold for use as replacement equipment for vehicles list above. the affected filters are marked with a date code a61451 through a72571 sequentially. the date code and part number appear on the filter housing. fram racing hp4 and hp8 oil filters not bearing a date code in this range are not affected by this recall. the gasket of the oil filter becomes more pliable under high temperatures and pressures.
