tahoe recall items?

[vtx1800sba]

I'm the second owner of a 1996 2dr. tahoe. When I bought the rig in July I asked the original owner if he had been advised of any recalls on the vehicle and if so what was done. He couldn't remember anything at the time. I am wondering if there were any recall items/repairs for my tahoe and if so how can I find out? Furthermore, does it matter if I am the second owner of the vehicle or not when it comes to a recall repair/replacement? How or where do I go to find out if there were any recall items? I am particularly interested if there was a recall on the csfi.

So what is the re-course on these. Would you have to have the problem first, or could you contact the dealer and discuss getting some of these done?

Just curious so I thought I would ask.

That's what I want to know. Jon any thoughts?

Corporate keeps a national database that will determine if the recalls have been done or not. If you do not find a sticker under your hood or on the door jamb for a particular recall call your local dealer to have them run your vin number. They will let you know if the recall applies to your specific sequence number and whether or not it has been done. They will set you up with fix if needed. If it is something you have already paid to get fixed then you may be able to get reimbursement for the cost. Your dealer will provide all the details for you. If you need any details on a specific recall or TSB let me know and I will pass it along.

Thank you Jon!

Jon, I cut and paste the list of recalls you noted and emailed it to the local chevy dealership. I know one of the owners, whom passed my note onto their service manager. Their service manager sent a note saying only one recall was still open; the windshield wipers. Ironically I've had trouble with the wipers a few times. I can hear a buzz in the dash but no wiper movement. This problem is intermittent. As I looked over the list you sent, there are some recalls that seem a bit worrisome (seat bolts?). I would think that GM would honor all recalls. I double checked my vehicle; no stickers or anything that would indicate the one and only former owner had any recall work done. I also forwarded the VIN number to the dealership. No comment from them on it.

If the don't return your calls go see them in person and ask them to look into it or explain why they won't do anything. They are obligated by law to do it. I am not aware of any time limits to complete them by before it is no longer required.

There is a 10 year time limit per DOT/NTSB for the manufacturer to be responsible for a recall repair. Ran into this on a Jeep... I called the manufacturer since it was an air bag control and they did the repair as a 1-time gesture... I was pleased...

Service Procedure 1. Turn the ignition key to the OFF position. 2. Remove the Connector Position Assurance (CPA) and disconnect the wiper motor electrical connector.

3. Remove the three (3) screws that secure the cover to the wiper motor and remove the cover (Figure 1). 4. Inspect for sealant on the inside of the cover and then discard the cover and screws IMPORTANT: If sealant was found on the old cover, it will be necessary to remove any old sealant from the motor housing in step 6. 5. Carefully remove the module (circuit board) from the wiper motor by lifting up on the end of the module electrical connector. 6. If necessary, remove any old sealant from the wiper motor housing (see step 4). NOTICE: When handling the new module in the next step, be careful not to damage or bend the electrical contacts on the bottom side of the module. 7. Install the module into the wiper motor housing, making sure that the module is fully seated. When fully seated, the edges of the module circuit board will be flush (even) with the motor housing along all sides.

8. Carefully apply a bead of silicone sealant P/N 12345739 (or GE-162 sealant or equivalent) in the groove of the NEW cover (Figure 2). Remove any excess sealant that is outside of the groove. IMPORTANT: Only apply enough sealant to fill the groove in the cover. 9. Install the new cover on the wiper motor housing and install the three (3) new screws. Tighten the screws to 2.6 Nm (23 lbs. in.). 10. Reconnect the wiper motor electrical connector to the wiper motor assembly and install the CPA. 11. Turn the ignition key to the "ON" position and check wiper system for proper operation (delay/low/high (etc.). 12. Install the GM Campaign Identification label.
