Recall 69V186000: Electrical System Modification

Water intrusion into the kick panel areas in front of both the driver and passenger doors can cause a corrosion path between the battery feed and the electrical ground. This condition can cause an electrical short leading to ignition and combustion of the plastics in the electrical components of the vehicle resulting in a vehicle fire. Dealers will replace the 25 AMP circuit breakers with 25 AMP fuses in the fuse-block; remove a temporary paper fuse-block cover; install a plastic shield over the fuse block; replace and reorient the power door lock relay (if equipped); inspect the remote keyless entry module (if equipped) for signs of corrosion, replace if corroded, and reorient it; and apply additional body sealer in key areas. Owner Notification: Owner notification began during September 1996.

NOTE: Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact Chevrolet at 1-800-222-1020 or GMC at 1-800-462-8782.
