APRIL 2010 --
GM is recalling certain model
year 2006 through 2010 Hummer H3 vehicles. Some of these vehicles have a
condition in which the integral clip-tabs on the louver on the hood may
fracture, causing the hood louver rattle against the hood and become loose. If
this indicator is unnoticed, additional clips could fracture and the hood louver
could detach from the vehicle. If the vehicle is being driving when this occurs,
it could strike a following vehicle and cause injury and/or property damage.
Dealers will apply an adhesive to the hood louver to secure it to the hood. This
service will be performed free of charge. The safety recall campaign began on
April 12, 2010. 10V-179
