Known issues on the 1984 K30. Two recalls stand on the federal record for this model year. One concerns replacement oil filters that may not seal properly, allowing engine oil to escape and, in the wrong place, start a fire. The other concerns 16 x 6 disc wheels that can crack in the drop center of the rim; left undetected on a wheel carrying a tube-type tire, the crack can let the wheel split and the tire lose air rapidly. A single owner complaint, on tires, has been recorded. Wheel, tire and lubrication service all have their specifications and procedures here.
IN SOME 16 X 6 DISC WHEELS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT MAY CAUSE THE WHEELS TO CRACK IN THE DROP CENTER PORTION OF THE RIM. IF THE CRACK WERE TO OCCUR ON A WHEEL WITH A TUBE TYPE TIRE M
THE DEALER WILL INSPECT EACH WHEEL AND REPLACE IT IF NECESSARY, WITHOUT CHARGE.
TREAD CAME OFF OF TIRE RIGHT DOWN TO THE STEEL BELT. SIDEWALLS REMAINED GOOD AND TIRE DID NOT DEFLAT, BUT REMAINED INFLATED( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: LT235/85R1 )
