  Risk and remedy

  Risk

  Both nhtsa and gm discourage placement of a child in a front seat. nevertheless, there are individual circumstances that may require placement of a child in a restraint in the front center seating position of this vehicle that does not offer a rear seat. lack of access to the top tether anchor and a lack of instructions as to how to use it, may result in improper installation of a child restraint. improper installation of a child restraint can result in a reduction in the restraint's performance in the event of a crash and an increased risk of injury or death to the child seated in the restraint.

  Remedy

  Dealers will cut a hole into the back panel trim cover to allow access to the top tether anchor for the front center seat position and will provide supplemental information as to use in the owner's manual. the manufacturer has not yet provided an owner notification schedule for this campaign. owners may contact chevrolet at 1-800-630-2438, GMC at 1-866-996-9463, isuzu at 1-800-255-6727 or visit gm's website at www.gmownercenter.com.

  2008 isuzu I290 ABS brakes kick in at different speeds, sometimes 5-10 mph sometimes faster and ABS fault light comes on in message panel of dash. This issue has been looked at by multiple repair locations without resolve. Found out today 6-12-2015 on internet forums that multiple people are having the exact same issue all over the country with 2005-2008 yr lite trucks and in my opinion it IS a gm manufacturer defect with colorado, and I290 pickup truck hubs and ABS sensors that are defective.
