1996 Chevrolet P3

Component

Engine And Engine Cooling:Cooling System:Fan

Consequence of Defect

the engine cooling fan assemblies can break from fatigue caused by engine and/or vehicle induced stresses.

Corrective Action

if this occurs while the hood or engine compartment was open, a person in the vicinity of the engine could be struck by a fan segment and injured.

Recall Notes

dealers will replace the existing engine cooling fan with a newly released fan assembly having rivets with larger heads.

1992 Chevrolet P3

Component

Wheels

Consequence of Defect

the 19.5 x 6 front steel wheel disc cracks outside the mounting bolt circle and ends at the hub's diameter.

Corrective Action

if the cracking goes unnoticed, the center portion of thedisc will crack completely and eventually the rim portion of the wheel couldseparate from the center section which could result in a vehicle crash.

Recall Notes

replace all six (seven if there is a spare) defective wheels with newly designed wheels.

1991 Chevrolet P3

Component

Fuel System, Gasoline:Storage:Tank Assembly

Consequence of Defect

some chassis were shipped to body builders with damaged fill or vent opening caps on the right-hand side. if a left-hand fill system was installed on the tank, and there was a damaged right-hand cap, the fuel system would not be sealed.

Corrective Action

if the fuel system is not sealed, the automatic shut-offsystem used in gas stations would not work, allowing gas to be forced out ofthe defective right-hand opening. the spilled gasoline would result in a firehazard if exposed to a source of ignition.

Recall Notes

install new caps on the vehicles with unused right-hand fill or vent openings.

Corrective Action

1991 Chevrolet P3

Component

Service Brakes, Hydraulic:Foundation Components:Disc:Caliper

Consequence of Defect

brakes may have missing rear axle outer bearing retaining ring and or greater than specified bearing end play. either condition allows the rotor and hub assembly to shift position relative to the spindle. this movement can cause brake caliper piston recede farther than normal into the piston bore which would require greater than normal brake fluid displacement when the service brakes are applied.

Corrective Action

this condition leads to increased stopping distance, andshould minimum stopping distance be required, it could result in an accidentwithout warning.

Recall Notes

replace both rear axle hubs.

1991 Chevrolet P3

Component

Parking Brake:Conventional

Consequence of Defect

the automatic apply transmission mounted parking brake lever pivot bolt "finger" may be loose.

Corrective Action

the loose pivot bolt could allow the parking brakes torelease after they have been set manually; if the bolt falls off when theautomatic apply parking brake is set, there is insufficient braking to hold thevehicle if it is parked on an incline. both of these conditions could result invehicle movement without prior warning and possibly in an accident.

Recall Notes

torque pivot bolt to specifications.
