Defect/Vehicle Involved

DEFECT INVOLVED

General Motors has decided that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in certain 1996 G-Van model vehicles. Some of these vehicles have exhibited water intrusion into the kick panel areas in front of both the driver and passenger doors. Over time, a corrosion path between the battery feed and ground can form. This condition could cause a short which could lead to the ignition and combustion of plastics in the electrical components of the vehicle, which could result in a vehicle fire.

To prevent the possibility of this condition occurring, dealers are to replace the 25 AMP circuit breakers with 25 AMP fuses in the fuse block; remove a temporary paper fuse block cover; install a plastic shield over the fuse block: reorient the power door lock relay (if equipped); inspect the remote keyless entry module (if equipped) for signs of corrosion, replace if corroded and reorient it; and apply additional body sealer in key areas.
