Manufacturer: GENERAL MOTORS CORP.
Potential Number of Units Affected: 432183Summary:
Vehicle Description: 4-door, 4-wheel drive and all-wheel drive multi-purpose
passenger vehicles. During development testing, the prop shaft contacted the
inboard side of the fuel tank allowing fuel leakage. This leakage was in excess
of the amount permitted by FMVSS 301, "Fuel System Integrity."
If an ignition source is present, and there is a fuel leak, a fire could occur.
Dealers will install additional shielding of the fuel tank. This will be added
without removing or disassembling the fuel system.
