REAR SEAT SQUEAKS/RATTLES REPLACE SEAT HINGES

VEHICLES AFFECTED: 1976-86 C/K AND 1987 R/V BLAZER/JIMMY AND SUBURBAN MODELS

Some 1976-86 C/K and 1987 R/V Blazer/Jimmy and Suburban models may experience squeaks or rattles from rear bench seats in Blazer/Jimmys and from third bench seats in Suburbans. This condition is due to metal to metal contact at the seat hinge.

If the condition should occur, replace the seat hinges with new seat hinge:

P/N 15569009 Left Side P/N 15569010 Right Side

These new hinges have a rubber grommet between the hinge and latch (Figure No. 1).

Beginning with the following VIN breakpoints, the new hinges were incorporated into production:

Chevrolet HF124000 GMC HF513336

General Motors bulletins are intended for use by professional technicians, not a "do-it-yourselfer". They are written to inform those technicians of conditions that may occur on some vehicles, or to provide information that could assist in the proper service of a vehicle. Properly trained technicians have the equipment, tools, safety instructions and know-how to do a job properly and safely. If a condition is described, do not assume that the bulletin applies to your vehicle, or that your vehicle will have that condition. See a General Motors dealer servicing your brand of General Motors vehicle for information on whether your vehicle may benefit from the information.
