Defect Involved

General Motors has decided that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in certain 1995-1997 C/K Extended Cab and 2-Door Utility model vehicles equipped with reclining seats and the "One-Handed" Easy-Entry feature. These vehicles exhibit a condition in which a pinch point exists in the recliner mechanism that could trap and pinch a person's hand or finger(s) when the Easy-Entry feature is activated. This pinching could cut the hand or possibly sever the finger(s) without prior warning.

To correct this condition, dealers are to install a protector cover over the recliner mechanism.
