NHTSA recall 10V138000
Electrical System · General Motors, LLC
Details
What's wrong: General motors has notified NHTSA of a defect in certain model year 2010 Chevrolet express and GMC savana vans 2500, 3500 and 4500 series. Some of these vehicles have a condition in which the generator may develop a low resistance short within the voltage regulator.
Why it matters: The low resistance short could eventually generate enough heat to result in an engine compartment fire.
The fix: Dealers will inspect and replace any suspect generators if necessary free of charge. The safety recall began on April 12, 2010.
