What this page shows
Everything below is an owner-reported complaint submitted to NHTSA about the 1993 Chevrolet Chevrolet Truck, grouped by the component NHTSA recorded on the report. These are not confirmed defects, and they are not recalls. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a category with more reports in it is not evidence that a part is defective.
Complaints are reports submitted by owners and drivers to NHTSA. They are not verified and do not establish that a defect exists.

Interior & seats
Reports naming seats, latches, locks, linkages and interior fittings.
From owner reports, verbatim
LEFT DRIVERS SIDE SEAT GUIDE RAIL HAS BROKEN IN HALF, SEAT ADJUSTER ASSYM. FAILED A PART. *AK
THIS WAS A NHTSA CAMPAIGN #95V246000. THE DEALER I TOOK THE TRUCK TO FOR THE RECALL FIXED THE DRIVERS SEAT AT I BELIEVE 60000 MILES. I DON'T THINK THEY DID ANYTHING TO THE PASSENGER'S SEAT. SINCE THE DEALER'S REPAIR I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE BOLTS AGAIN ON THE DRIVERS SEAT, THE DEALER SAID GM WAS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR DOING THE REPAIR A SECOND TIME. NOW AT 123,000 MILES THE PASSENGERS SEAT BOLTS HAVE FAILED. THE DEALER CLAIMS THAT THE REPAIR WAS PERFORMED BEFORE AND OFFERS NO RELIEF. REPAIRS HAVE BEEN DEFECTIVE OR SEAT WOULD NOT BE BROKEN AGAIN. THANK YOU FOR ANY HELP YOU MIGHT PROVIDE.

FIBERGLASS BED COVER SOLD BY LEONARD BUILDINGS AND TRUCK ACCESSORIES 4239 CAPITOL BLVD. RALEIGH, NC 27604. HEAVY (100+ LBS) COVER HELD ON BY TWO FLIMSY ALUMINUM HINGES. I FOUND THAT ONE HINGE HAD CRACKED COMPLETELY AND THE OTHER ONE PART WAY. HAD THE OTHER HINGE FAILED AND THE COVER BLOWN OFF OF THE VEHICLE, IT WOULD HAVE CAUSED EXTENSIVE DAMAGE AND/OR INJURY TO ANY VEHICLE/PERSON WHICH IT HIT. I BELIVE THAT LEONARD SHOULD BE MADE TO RECALL/REPAIR THESE COVERS OR AT LEAST NOTIFY OWNERS OF THE POTENTIAL DANGER.
