Owner Letter
Dear GMC Truck Customer:As a valued customer, your complete satisfaction with your GMC truck is our goal. In keeping with this goal, we want to let you know that we have discovered a condition that could affect your vehicle and we want to take care of it at no charge to you.
On CERTAIN 1995 Jimmys with GMSPO running boards, such as yours, the rear end caps may not support an individual's weight if the very end-most "balloon" portion is stepped on. Forces greater than approximately 250 pounds could cause the end cap to detach from the running board and the vehicle. Also, the installation of the running boards severely inhibits the jacking of the vehicle using the original equipment jack. The running boards "widen" the vehicle and this greatly reduces the diameter of the arc that the jack handle can travel in. This makes manual jacking of the vehicle difficult. These conditions could result in customer dissatisfaction.
To correct these conditions, we will install a running board enhancement kit. This kit contains revised rear end-cap supports, a jack handle extension, and new jacking and jack handle stowage instructions.
Instructions for performing this service have been sent to your GMC Truck dealer, and parts are available. Please contact your GMC dealer to arrange a service date as soon as possible. This procedure will take about 30 minutes to complete, but you should ask how much additional time your dealer will need to schedule and process your vehicle.
We are sorry to cause you this inconvenience; however, we have taken this action in the interest of your continued satisfaction with our product.
