NHTSA 00V404000- The defect
- VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: CHASSIS CABS. ON SOME OF THESE VEHICLES, EITHER OR BOTH OF THE TWO BODY PRESSURE RELIEF VALVES (PRV) MAY NOT SEAL AND COULD BECOME INOPERATIVE DURING THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE IF THE BODY INSTALLED ON THE VEHICLE DOES NOT PROTECT THE PRV FROM ROAD DEBRIS.
- The risk
- IF A PRV DOES NOT SEAL, EXHAUST FUMES COULD ENTER INTO THE PASSENGER CAB AND COULD CAUSE POSSIBLE ILLNESS, UNCONSCIOUSNESS, OR DEATH.
- The fix
- DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE VEHICLE TO ENSURE THAT THE PRVS ARE PROTECTED BY THE BODY OF THE VEHICLE. IF THE PRVS ARE NOT PROTECTED BY THE BODY, THE DEALER WILL INSTALL NEW SHIELDED PRVS.

Checking your own car
A recall applies to a range of VINs, not to every 2000 Chevrolet C/K Chassis Cab built. To confirm whether yours is affected, find the 17-character VIN on the driver-side dashboard or door jamb and enter it in NHTSA's official lookup.
Repairs for safety recalls are free and never expire. A dealer cannot charge you, and cannot refuse on the grounds that the car is old or out of warranty. If one does, call the NHTSA hotline on 1-888-327-4236.
