1982 Chevrolet C10 recalls 3
Recall repairs are free. Your dealer fixes them whether or not you bought the car there - check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see if yours is done. What to do
- The problem
- The locking screw that retains the pinion shaft in place in the differential could come loose. The pinion shaft turns the gears inside the differential that rotate the drive axles and rear wheels. If the locking screw comes loose, it could damage other components or jam in the gears. If the pinion shaft comes loose, the rear wheels may no longer power the vehicle.
- The fix
- The dealer will replace the differential lock screw at no charge.
- The problem
- On the involved vehicles, the rear brake drum balance weights may interfere with the aluminum wheels. This contact could cause the wheel lug nuts to loosen, leading to wheel stud failure. This could allow separation of the wheel and tire from the vehicle.
- The fix
- The dealer will inspect and, if necessary, modify the rear brake drum balance weights without charge to owner.
