4 recalls name the 1994 Am General Hummer. Newest first.
Certain honeywell fram racing brand HP4 and HP8 oil filters that were manufactured from may 25, 2006, through september 14, 2007, and sold for use as replacement equipment for vehicles list above. the affected filters are marked with a date code a61451 through a72571 sequentially. the date code and part number appear on the filter housing. fram racing…
Risk and remedy
Risk
This condition may cause inadequate sealing and loss of engine oil, possibly resulting in a fire.
Remedy
Honeywell will replace the affected oil filters free of charge. the recall began during november 2007. owners can contact fram customer service toll-free at 1-800-890-2075.
The coating used to protect the accelerator pedal shaft IS incompatible with the bronze bushing through which the shaft passes. Over time, and in the presence of a corrosive environment (water, road salt), the shaft can corrode inside the bushing increasing the amount of friction between the rotating shaft and the stationary bushing.
Risk and remedy
Risk
A corroded accelerator pedal shaft can cause the engine throttle to bind and not fully return to idle when the operator's foot IS removed from the accelerator pedal increasing the potential for a vehicle accident.
Remedy
Dealers will install a revised accelerator pedal and shaft assembly.
Water can accumulate in the cruise control cable and if the outside temperature IS below freezing and the cruise control IS engaged, the water can freeze causing the cable to bind and not release as intended when the brake pedal IS applied or the system IS turned off at the master cruise control switch.
Risk and remedy
Risk
The engine throttle can stick open resulting in loss of throttle control with the increased potential for a vehicle accident.
Remedy
Dealers will remove the current cruise control actuator and cable assembly and install a new assembly. additionally, dealers will change the routing of the cable.
The oil pressure switch which controls the power to the electric fuel pump can fail. Failure IS due to a missing rubber seal between the switch and the wiring harness. The missing seal allows contaminants to enter the switch causing it to fail in the open or closed position.
Risk and remedy
Risk
If the switch fails in the closed position, the pump will continue to run when the engine IS off, draining the battery. If the switch fails in the open position it will cause poor performance and possibly stalling.
Remedy
Dealers will inspect the vehicles for the presence of the seal. If the seal IS missing, the switch will be replaced and a new seal will be installed.

Stress fractures in the transfer case aluminum intercooler loop of the automatic transmission cooling circuit caused destruction of the transmission due to lack of transmission oil. This same defect has been noted in at least three am general hummers, and a sudden loss of atf fluid may result in a catastrophic failure of the transmission at speed, possibly causing a crash. the transfer case intercooler loop IS inside the transfer case of the hummer. transmission fluid from the 4l80e automatic transmission circulates through this aluminum finned cooling loop and transfers heat to and from the transfer case fluid, which IS physically isolated from the transmission fluid by the intercooler loop, to the transmission fluid, which IS then circulated through the transmission oil cooler at the front of the vehicle and returned to the transmission. due to improper design, the intercooler loop moves and vibrates inside the transfer case and over time develops stress fractures near the input nipple. This causes atf to be pumped from the transmission into the transfer case, and from there into the hummer vent system which connects the geared hubs, differentials and air cleaner. there IS usually no external indication of fluid loss, and eventually, depending on the severity of the cracks, low atf levels cause the transmission to be destroyed, possibly catastrophically, and possibly at high speeds, which may pose a severe safety hazard. in my case, I noticed a cloud of white smoke behind my vehicle as I drove at 75 mph down I-25 outside denver. I was able to stop before the transmission seized, but the only reason I noticed the problem was because a plastic vent line softened and ruptured, spilling atf onto the exhaust pipe...which created a significant fire hazard. my transmission was damaged and had to be replaced as a result, and the cause of the failure was traced to the defective intercooler loop in the transfer case. this intercooler loop failure has been EX
