2011 Chevrolet Colorado

Certain vehicles fail to conform to Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 113 – Hood Latch System.  Specifically, the hood may be missing the secondary hood latch.  If the primary hood latch is not engaged, the hood could open unexpectedly.  If this occurs while the vehicle is in motion, the hood could contact the windshield and compromise the driver’s ability to see the road and its users, which could result in a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury.  Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the hood.

On certain vehicles, the automatic transmission shift cable adjustment clip may not retain the cable in the correct position.  As such, the shift lever indicator may not accurately reflect the actual transmission gear selection.  This could allow the driver to move the shifter to PARK and remove the ignition key, even if the transmission gear is not in the PARK position.  Should the vehicle roll away, whether attended or not, it could strike another vehicle, stationary object, or bystander, causing property damage and/or personal injury.  Correction: Dealers will replace the automatic transmission shift cable adjustment clip.

On certain vehicles, the windshield wiper motor crank arm nut may not have received adequate tightening torque during vehicle assembly.  If the nut loosens, it could result in a loss of windshield wiping capability which, should it occur during a rainy/snowy day, may compromise the driver's ability to see the road and its users, which could result in a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury.  Correction: Dealers will torque the wiper motor crank arm nut to specifications.

On certain vehicles, the rear axle cross pin was improperly heat treated (during the manufacturing process) and could fracture and become displaced within the rear differential.  As a result the driver may hear a banging noise emanating from the rear axle.  Also, if the pin shifts out of position it could create an interference and cause the rear axle to lock.  This could cause a loss of vehicle control, which could result in a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury.  Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the rear axle cross pin.

Certain vehicles with regular or extended cab without a rear seat, and equipped with a front 60/40 split bench seat, fail to conform to Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 210.1 - User-ready Tether Anchorages for Restraint Systems.  The child restraint top tether anchor for the front centre seat position in these vehicles is not accessible as required by the Standard.  Without the top tether anchor, a child restraint may not be properly secured in the vehicle.  Correction: If requested by the customers, dealers will modify the back panel trim cover to allow access to the top tether anchor.  In addition, owner letters will include an Owner Manual Supplement that describes how to install a child restraint using a top tether in the centre seating position.
