This vehicle model year has an active recall,the federal safety agency # 97v058000. However chevrolet states that my vehicle falls outside the range of applicable vins, and will not perform the recall. This vehicle's rear cradle bolts pulled through the retainers, just as written in the recall notice. Luckily the operator was able to keep the vehicle under control and avoid an accident. (it was the only car on the road at the time). The federal safety agency may want to investigate and have gmc increase the range of vins applicable to this campaign. ******dims 11 ivoq entry posted after 12/12/02 cut-over to artemis******757420.*ak
