gmctopki — Tue, 25 Nov 2008 23:05:26 +0000

Models:     Chevrolet Kodiak    Year:     2003
GMC Topkick    Year:     2003
Number Potentially Involved: 276
Dates of Manufacture: August 2001 – July 2002
Defect: Some trucks equipped with the optional Caterpillar diesel engine (LG5) were built with a misrouted battery cable that could come in contact with the exhaust pipe. The conduit and the nylon cable coating could degrade to the point where the copper wire strands of the cable are exposed. If the cable strands contacted the exhaust pipe, a short circuit could cause the battery cable coatings to ignite and possibly lead to an engine compartment fire.
Remedy:   Dealers will inspect the battery cable for proper routing and reroute the cable if necessary. The manufacturer has reported that owner notification began Oct. 25, 2002. Owners should contact Chevrolet at 1-800-222-1020 or GMC at 1-800-462-8782

Exploratory study of exposure to whole body vibration in GMC Top Kick ambulances

gmctopki — Tue, 25 Nov 2008 22:56:42 +0000

Quebec ambulance workers have registered numerous complaints concerning vibration and shocks under specific driving conditions since the introduction of the GMC Top Kick ambulance. This project was undertaken to determine whether vibration exposure at various workstations in the ambulance was correlated to reported problems, and to evaluate the global behaviour of the ambulance’s rear suspension.

The results indicate that vibration exposure is most hazardous to workers seated on the longitudinal and lateral benches in the rear of the vehicle. Exposure at the six workstations evaluated was rated moderately uncomfortable to uncomfortable, with the rating dependent on the workstation’s precise location and the driving context.
