Dealers will inspect for three screw clamps to the power steering hose joints. If the clamps are not the screw type, dealers will replace the clamps. The manufacturer has reported that owner notification began during late March 2000. Owners who 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.

An unrestrained occupant could fall out of the van and be injured.
Dealers will install a new actuator assembly to the power sliding door. The manufacturer has reported that owner notification began April 18, 2001.
