Hummer Guy Hummer News and Opinion from an experienced off-road instructor
General Motors and the NHSTA announced today a recall of every H3 and H3T between the model years 2006 and 2010 (that’s all of ‘em, folks!) because the small, black, decorate hood louver could become loose over time and become detached during operation.
If you’ve ever worked with the piece, you know it’s held on by a series of tabs that break relatively easily during the removal process. Apparently, the NHSTA has gotten two complaints from U.S. owners and GM had three complaints from Japan on the issue, causing GM to initiate a voluntary recall of 198,404 vehicles worldwide and 164,190 in the United States.
The recommended fix (to be completed by your dealer or authorized service store) is to rework the existing hood louver with permanent adhesive.
The H3 and H3T have had a great service/recall history – only minor issues like this and the jack recall a few years ago.
How permanent is permanent adhesive? Is this going to make it a real pain should you ever wish to replace the plastic with bling?
WOW ANOTHER FIX WITH ADHESIVE. SEEMS TO BE GMS ANSWER TO ALL THE HUMMER CALL BACKS. AS I REMEMBER THE OL TAIL GATE TRIM ON THE H3T PROBLEM. THE FIX……ADHESIVE TAPE. ANOTHER GOVERNEMNT SOLUTION FOR US HOW NICE.
HUMMERS RULE AND OBAMA KILLED EM!
Really? Just slap a bunch of glue on it? No thanks, I’ll take my chances.
this is just a conspiracy to get our cars back to the dealers so they can sabatoge it and take our cars off the road permanatly.
LOL! Who knows. You could be right alpha. I can’t wait to get Obama out of the White House. What a joke.
haha im really just messin around, i mainly mad that hummer will be no more, this is rediculous
never say never. it could be back around someday. right now it is done.
i do believe that it will return, i want it to return in my lifetime though
i really believe that obama has something to do with the shutdown. wait til we get a republican back in office, or atleast someone who is not a dictator.
The HUMMER coming back in the future might explain why GM wouldnt sell it…
@hummer3
hopefully
Got my letter in the mail today. Called my dealer and they didn’t even know about it til today. LOL!
I’ve noticed that bed liner on my H3T bows up extremely during hot days, does anyone else have this problem with their H3T?
stil waiting to get our urethane to do the recalls……
yep got my letter today, i think ill take my chances
Beauespirit- I have an H3T and I haven’t had that issue
HUMMER will never die
im gonna start stocking up on parts and maybe buy a parts rig just in case
@ this point, i assume nothing good came from the chicago summit?
@ zach, good idea
I finally looked at my letter, does anyone know if it has a negative effect on the warranty if the work is not done? There was no indication one way or the other in the letter that I could find.
No negative effects.
Thanks, that is what I was seeing, or rather not seeing.
Took my son and a few of his friends out last weekend to Green Ridge in MD for some muddin for his 12th Birthday! They loved it, wonderful weather, no one else on the trails, and mud and puddles everywhere. Ah, H3’s forever!
