Rear Seat Belt for Smaller Passengers May Not Fit Correctly
Body, Interior & Misc., July 21, 2005
RepairPal Expert Overview:
The second row center seat belt routing may make it difficult to position correctly on smaller passengers. If the seat belt rides up to fit around the abdomen, the risk of internal injury is increased in a crash. Dealers will cut the guide loop, remove a portion of the loop, and the remaining sides should be folded over and secured with a retainer. The recall began July 21, 2005. The GM recall number is 05037.
Hydro-Boost Relief Valve May Not Function Properly
Brakes, June 18, 2004
RepairPal Expert Overview:
The hydro-boost housing relief valve bore may be out of specification. The seal may fracture as a result, which may reduce braking assist and slightly increase the steering effort while braking. Under certain conditions, more braking effort will be required to stop the vehicle. Dealers will replace the hydro-boost relief valve. The recall began June 18, 2004. The GM recall number is 04004.
Gear Shift Indicator May Not Illuminate
Drive Train, February 22, 2005

Dealers will reprogram the instrument panel cluster to correct this concern. This recall is expected to begin on February 14, 2005. The General Motors recall number is 05023.
