2007 Chevrolet Avalanche 1500 recalls

Recall 06V-307: Wheels

Reported Aug 11, 2006 · 3,227 vehicles affected · GENERAL MOTORS CORP.

Problem: Certain sport utility vehicles and trucks fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 110, "tire selection and rims." these vehicles have an incomplete tire rim designation on the certification/tire label located on the driver's door edge. In addition, the label may also be missing the tire load rating on the label. Although this information is not required by the standard, if a tire of a lesser load rating is installed, the tire may not be able to sustain the loads encountered during use.

Risk: If a customer replaces a wheel and only relies on the rim size designation that is indicated on the label, a wheel that is of a different rim contour designation may be installed. It may be difficult or impossible to mount the tire on a wheel with the wrong contour. If the tire is mounted on the wheel with the wrong contour, the wheel and tire may not perform as intended, which could increase the risk of a crash.

Fix: A label that will correct the label originally installed will be mailed to consumers along with installation instructions. The customer will have the option for dealers to install the label. The recall begaon on november 7, 2006. Owners should contact cadillac at 1-866-982-2239, chevrolet at 1-800-630-2438, and gmc trucks at 1-866-996-9463.

Takata recall. (This not an accident report.) on 2/20/17 I called a local authorized chev dealership about the recall on my truck for an airbag defect. I called again today, 2/20/29 about the same issue. Both times I have been told they do not have any parts to correct the problem. When I went to register my vehicle for the upcoming renewal period maryland dmv wrote "please contact your local manufacturers authorized dealership to resolve at no cost." so, I AM pretty confused as what to do.

Unknown or Other · at 65,000 miles · reported Dec 28, 2018
Dashboard is cracked in several places near the passenger airbag and instrument cluster. It may eventually crack enough that big pieces will pop loose and chunks of my dash will be gone. Abs glue is the only thing that works to join the seams together to stop the dash from shaking and making tons of noise. The shaking likely caused the cracks to grow more also prior to me finally through lots of trial and error successfully gluing it. Hopefully it will keep the current crack from growing. But only time will tell. And new ones will likely appear if the old ones do not spread. Also, the air vent…
