REAR END ALIGNMENT ON FLEET VEHICLES. I CURRENTLY OPERATE A 2007 CHEVROLET IMPALA AS PART OF MY EMPLOYMENT AT A LOCAL POLICE AGENCY (GOVERNMENT VEHICLE). AT MY LAST OIL CHANGE, AT 10500 MILES, I WAS SHOWN MY TIRES ON THE REAR (BALD ON INSIDE) AND TOLD I HAD TO BRING TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR WARRANT REAR END WORK. I WAS TOLD AT THE DEALERSHIP THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH ALL FLEET VEHICLES OF THIS MAKE AND MODEL BUT NOT A RECALL. THEY ARE SUPPOSEDLY FIXING MY REAR END BUT ARE REFUSING TO REPLACE THE TIRES. TIRES SHOULD NOT NEED REPLACING AT 10,000 MILES, SO IT IS A DEFECT AND SHOULD BE WARRANTY. ALSO, DUE TO THE TYPE OF WEAR ON MY TIRES, IT WAS NOT VISIBLE UNTIL REMOVED FROM MY VEHICLE (OUTSIDE TIRES STILL HAD TREAD) WHICH I BELIEVE IS A SAFETY HAZARD AS THE TIRES COULD MALFUNCTION DURING A HIGH SPEED INCIDENT AND CAUSE HARM TO ME OR MY CO-WORKERS. *TR

This defect can affect the safe operation of the airbag system. Until this recall is performed, customers should remove all items from their key rings, leaving only the ignition key. The key fob (if applicable), should also be removed from the key ring. General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2005-2009 Buick LaCrosse, 2006-2011 Buick Lucerne, 2000-2005 Cadillac DeVille, 2006-2011 Cadillac DTS, 2006-2014 Chevrolet Impala, and 2006-2007 Chevrolet Monte Carlo vehicles. In the affected vehicles, the weight on the key ring and road conditions or some other jarring event may cause the ignition switch to move out of the run position, turning off the engine.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If the key is not in the run position, the air bags may not deploy if the vehicle is involved in a crash, increasing the risk of injury. Additionally, a key knocked out of the run position will cause loss of engine power, power steering, and power braking, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.
Remedy: GM will notify owners, and dealers will install two key rings and an insert in the key slot or a cover over the key head on all ignition keys, free of charge. The recall began on September 23, 2014. Owners may contact General Motors customer service at 1-800-521-7300 (Buick), 1-800-458-8006 (Cadillac), and 1-800-222-1020 (Chevrolet). GM's number for this recall is 14299.
ON CERTAIN VEHICLES, THE FUEL TANK IS MISSING THE ADHESIVE LAYER THAT BONDS THE BARRIER LAYER TO THE OUTER SHELL OF THE FUEL TANK.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: WITH THIS CONDITION, FUEL AND/OR FUEL VAPORS COULD SEEP OUT BETWEEN THE LAYERS, INCREASING THE RISK OF A FIRE.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE SERIAL NUMBER ON THE FUEL TANK AND REPLACE THE FUEL TANK IF NECESSARY. THE RECALL BEGAN ON NOVEMBER 13, 2006. OWNERS MAY CONTACT BUICK AT 1-866-608-8080, CHEVROLET AT 1-800-630-2438, OR PONTIAC AT 1-800-620-7668.
