2004 Chevrolet Express & 2004 GMC Savana recall: powertrain & transmission
⚠️ What's wrong
Certain vans were built with a transmission shift cable assembly that may separate. If the cable assembly separates, the transmission shift lever position and the transmission indicator may no longer correlate.
💥 The risk
If this were to occur, the vehicle could move in a direction not anticipated by the driver, which could result in a vehicle crash.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will inspect the transmission shift cable assembly, and if necessary, replace it. The recall began on august 19, 2004. Owners should contact chevrolet at 1-800-630-2438 or GMC at 1-866-996-9463.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
