GMC Savana
Model Overview
If you need to rent a cargo van, there's a solid chance you'll be handed the keys to a GMC Savana. This is the latest in a line of GMC-branded commercial vans that dates back decades. The Savana is a straightforward van based on a heavy-duty pickup chassis, so not only can it haul a lot of cargo, but it also boasts towing that bests many light-duty pickups.

Units Affected:

Notification Type:
Inconsequential
Issue:
Certain vehicles may have incorrect body control module software. As a result, the immobilization system is not active during the learning procedure for a new "unlearned" blank replacement key could be used during a 30 minute reprogramming procedure to disable the immobilization system. During this time, the vehicle cannot be driven.
Safety Risk:
This small error does not affect vehicle safety.
Corrective Actions:
This is not a recall. General Motors has made changes to vehicle software to ensure that all unsold and new vehicles have the correct body control module software.

Manufacturer Recall Number:
N192264501
Units Affected:
7,308
Notification Type:
Compliance Mfr
Issue:
On certain vans, the seat belt and airbag warning lights will not turn on for approximately 5 seconds after the ignition is switched to the ON or start position. Canadian regulations require these lights to turn on to demonstrate that the airbag system is working properly (bulb check) and to remind a driver to fasten their seat belt.
Safety Risk:
Warning lights that do not turn on during the start-up check could confuse a driver. In addition, the driver would not see a reminder to fasten their seat belt. This could create an increased risk of injury in a crash.
Corrective Actions:
The company will notify owners by mail and instruct them to take their vehicle to a dealer to reprogram the instrument panel cluster.

Notification Type:
Compliance Mfr
Issue:
Certain vehicles were built with the wrong type of glass in one or both of the rear-quarter windows. Tempered glass was used in place of laminated glass. As a result, the vehicles may not meet the ejection mitigation requirements of the Canadian regulations.
Safety Risk:
Vehicles built with incorrect side window glass could create an additional risk of injury in a rollover or side impact crash.
Corrective Actions:
The company will notify owners by mail and instruct them to take their vehicle to a dealer to replace the tempered window glass with laminated glass. For long wheelbase vehicles, the left rear-quarter window will be replaced. For short wheelbase vehicles, both the left and right rear-quarter windows will be replaced.

On certain vehicles equipped with a single manual rear climate control module (CCM), the CCM could overheat when the temperature is set to maximum heat or the knob is set to maximum floor vent. If this occurs, the insulation material used on the CCM terminal connectors could catch fire, increasing the risk of injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will remove the insulation from the CCM terminal connectors.

On certain vehicles equipped with power windows, liquid can enter the power window switches causing corrosion and lead to a high electrical resistance. This could cause the switch to heat up, smoke or melt, which would increase the risk of fire causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace the driver’s side window switch with a switch that has additional protection against liquid intrusion.

On certain vehicles equipped with Kidde fire extinguishers with black plastic handles and valves, the fire extinguishers may become clogged or require excessive force to activate. Also, the nozzle may detach from the valve assembly with enough force that it could cause injury, and fail to discharge. In case of fire, failure of the extinguisher to function could result in injury and/or property damage. Correction: Owners will be provided with instructions on how to inspect the fire extinguisher to see if it is recalled. Replacement fire extinguishers will be supplied by Kidde directly.

Certain vehicles equipped with a hinged left side rear door may have a condition where inadequate clearance between the rear brake lines and the lower fuel filler hose clamp may result in abrasion to one or both rear brake lines. This condition could cause brake fluid loss which could result in decreased brake line pressure, increased brake pedal travel and increased stopping distance, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. This condition could cause various warning lights to illuminate in the instrument panel of the vehicle such the red “BRAKE” telltale symbol; illumination of the Stabilitrak telltale symbol; scrolling display of “Service Brake”, “Service Stabilitrak,” and “Service Traction Control” messages in the Driver Information Centre (DIC); and audible alerts/chimes. Correction: Dealers will inspect the brake lines. If the clearance is found to be below specification, the brake lines will be replaced with a new part design that provides adequate clearance.

On certain vehicles, the chassis electronic module may have been contaminated at time of manufacture, which could cause an electrical short to occur within the module. This could cause the vehicle's check engine light to be displayed, or cause the engine to fail to start or stall, resulting in a loss of motive power. If the vehicle is equipped to support electric trailer brakes, the vehicle could also lose trailer brake function and display a "Service Trailer Brake System" indicator. These issues could increase the risk of a crash resulting in injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace the module with a revised part.

On certain compressed natural gas (CNG) fuelled vehicles, the CNG high pressure regulator may leak natural gas. Should a leak occur in the presence of an ignition source, a fire or explosion could result, increasing the risk of injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace the regulator. Note: If a leak is suspected, owners should not start nor drive their vehicles, and have the vehicle immediately towed, inspected and repaired.

Certain vehicles may not comply with the requirements of Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 201 - Occupant Protection. During a frontal impact below the airbag deployment threshold, if an unbelted front passenger's head were to impact the instrument panel where the passenger airbag is located, it could decelerate at a rate higher than what is allowable by the standard. This could increase the risk of injury. Correction: Dealers will install energy absorbing trim pieces on the passenger side of the instrument panel, and on 2012-2014 model year 1500 series vehicles, dealers will also replace the front passenger seat belt retractor.
