  Dec 2012 · #12V594000

  General Motors is recalling certain model year 2010-2012 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon vehicles manufactured from November 9, 2009, through August 28, 2012, for failing to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 113, "Hood Latch System." The hood may be missing the secondary hood latch.

  Read more: details, risk and fix

  Risk: If the primary hood latch is not engaged, the hood could open unexpectedly. During vehicle operation, this could obstruct the view of the driver and increase the risk of a crash.

  Fix: General Motors will notify owners and instruct them to inspect their vehicle for the presence of a secondary hood latch. Dealers will replace the hood on any affected vehicles, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin on January 17, 2013. Owners may contact Chevrolet at [phone removed] or GMC at [phone removed].

  GM IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2004-2011, CHEVROLET COLORADO, GMC CANYON, MODEL YEAR 2006, ISUZU I-280/I-350, AND MODEL YEAR 2007-2008, I-290/I-370, REGULAR CAB VEHICLES AND EXTENDED CAB VEHICLES WITHOUT A REAR SEAT AND EQUIPPED WITH A FRONT 60/40 SPLIT BENCH SEAT.

  GM IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2004-2011, CHEVROLET COLORADO, GMC CANYON, MODEL YEAR 2006, ISUZU I-280/I-350, AND MODEL YEAR 2007-2008, I-290/I-370, REGULAR CAB VEHICLES AND EXTENDED CAB VEHICLES WITHOUT A REAR SEAT AND EQUIPPED WITH A FRONT 60/40 SPLIT BENCH SEAT. THESE VEHICLES FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 225, "CHILD RESTRAINT ANCHORAGE SYSTEMS." THE TOP TETHER ANCHOR FOR THE FRONT CENTER SEAT IS NOT ACCESSIBLE AND THE OWNER MANUAL DOES NOT INCLUDE INSTRUCTIONS REGARDING HOW TO USE THE TOP TETHER.

  Risk: BOTH NHTSA AND GM DISCOURAGE PLACEMENT OF A CHILD IN A FRONT SEAT. NEVERTHELESS, THERE ARE INDIVIDUAL CIRCUMSTANCES THAT MAY REQUIRE PLACEMENT OF A CHILD IN A RESTRAINT IN THE FRONT CENTER SEATING POSITION OF THIS VEHICLE THAT DOES NOT OFFER A REAR SEAT. LACK OF ACCESS TO THE TOP TETHER ANCHOR AND A LACK OF INSTRUCTIONS AS TO HOW TO USE IT, MAY RESULT IN IMPROPER INSTALLATION OF A CHILD RESTRAINT. IMPROPER INSTALLATION OF A CHILD RESTRAINT CAN RESULT IN A REDUCTION IN THE RESTRAINT'S PERFORMANCE IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH AND AN INCREASED RISK OF INJURY OR DEATH TO THE CHILD SEATED IN THE RESTRAINT.

  Fix: DEALERS WILL CUT A HOLE INTO THE BACK PANEL TRIM COVER TO ALLOW ACCESS TO THE TOP TETHER ANCHOR FOR THE FRONT CENTER SEAT POSITION AND WILL PROVIDE SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION AS TO USE IN THE OWNER'S MANUAL. THE MANUFACTURER HAS NOT YET PROVIDED AN OWNER NOTIFICATION SCHEDULE FOR THIS CAMPAIGN. OWNERS MAY CONTACT CHEVROLET AT [phone removed], GMC AT [phone removed], ISUZU AT [phone removed] OR VISIT GM'S WEBSITE AT WWW.GMOWNERCENTER.COM.

    DASH HAS CRACKED IN A GARAGE KEPT DENALI. IT IS UNSIGHTLY AND SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED.

  • Filed Oct 2018

    THE DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED IN TWO PLACES. THE VEHICLE IS GARAGE KEPT WHEN NOT IN USE. I AM CONCERNED THAT DASHBOARD PIECES MAY INJURE THE DRIVER OR PASSENGERS DURING A VEHICLE ACCIDENT.

  • Filed Aug 2017 · Also filed under Air Bags

    WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, THE DASH CRACKED. THE DASH HAS CRACKED IN FRONT OF THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT AND THE CRACK GOES INTO THE AIRBAG SECTION. AS I DRIVE, THE WHOLE DASHBOARD BOUNCES UP AND DOWN AS IT IS NOW UNSTABLE. THIS IS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM THAT MANY OTHER DRIVERS HAVE REPORTED ONLINE. A SIMPLE GOOGLE SEARCH BRINGS IT UP. IT WILL COST OVER $900 PLUS THE COST OF A WHOLE NEW DASHBOARD TO GET THIS FIXED AND THAT IS A QUOTE FROM AN INDEPENDENT, VERY ECONOMICAL REPAIR SHOP (NON-DEALERSHIP). I CANNOT AFFORD THIS AND WILL TRY TO USE TAPE. HOPEFULLY THE DASHBOARD DOESN'T BOUNCE OFF WHEN I'M DRIVING AND HOPEFULLY THE AIRBAG DOESN'T GO OFF. PLEASE SERIOUSLY CONSIDER A RECALL ON THIS. IT CRACKED ABOUT 3 MONTHS AGO AND I ALMOST DIDN'T ENTER THIS CLAIM ON HERE. I TOLD MY DEALER, BUT THEY DIDN'T PURSUE IT FURTHER. IMAGINE ALL THE OTHER PEOPLE OUT THERE WHO DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO OR WHO TO TELL. THANKS FOR YOU HELP.
