Here is the Chrome Gas Door for H3 - Don't be Fooled - Page 2

Well, sure enough, something is up. They're no longer available..something about a "recall" on them due to the assembly of them. I'm being told late August, but they're not sure. All they had were the horizontal line aftermarket ones that lock on the outside.

H3Lady, can you comment on this? All they have now are the aftermarket ones...not the ones that say Hummer on them. When they called GM Parts, they're telling them that they have only been released to GM Manufacturing and not dealers. I'm sure Georgemarcs is the one that says Hummer on it. I know yours is too. Hmmm.

Yes, mine says Hummer and I got it at Sewell Dallas about two weeks ago

H3Lady knows as she has one.

Thanks Georgemarc. Does it look like H3Lady's or is it a custom H2 to H3 job? I only ask that as my dealer said it's either custom or aftermarket knock-off as the "licensed" ones have been recalled.

Georgemarc · #25 08-16-2005, 09:13 PM

It is the same as H3Lady's and I believe it a custom H2 to H3 job, looks good.
Will get a closer pic of it out here soon

H3Lady · #26 08-16-2005, 09:39 PM

I will get you the gm number tomorrow.

Mine is the 100% one made for the H3, not converted from H2, there is a big dif.

Look at the bezel around the chrome, it matches the trim on the H3.

Any news to the recall of the gas doors H3Lady? Could you find that out tomorrow as well?

Thanks!

Georgemarc · #29 08-17-2005, 10:40 PM

Here is the one put one two weeks ago

Georgemarc · #30 08-17-2005, 10:41 PM

2nd view

Georgemarc · #31 08-17-2005, 10:43 PM

Sorry, 2nd

MyxH3 · #32 08-21-2005, 04:20 AM

165.00 for a gas cap... Thats insane

H3Lady · #33 08-21-2005, 07:11 AM

I will get a lot of ?'s answered monday morning.

I have a number I can call to get the info direct.

The one above is a convered H2.

These rumors of accessories being recalled within days of realease are insane. GM really does not want this as i cost them money.

What was the reason for recall I alway ask?

Oh, HERE IS THE PROBLEM WITH THE CONVERTED ONE,
THE GAS CUP WHICH IS THE BLACK TRIM RING AND INSIDE SECTION JUST SNAPS IN THE H3, THE CHROME DOOR IS TO HEAVY FOR THE TRIM PIECE. The real one for the H3 install with snap riviets and it 100% secure.

Here are photos of the GM Hummer chrome fuel cover (GM Part number 12499618) that we had installed this past Thursday by our dealer. It seems to have the same textured outer bezel that H3Lady described. It is attached by 5 screws, and I think they did a good job on the install. I feel lucky that we were able to find one, and hope there is not a problem with the design, assembly, etc.

Could someone please also post a pic of the lockable fuel-cap (not the door), which comes with the H3 chrome fuel door?

H3Lady · #36 08-21-2005, 05:22 PM

srqhumdinger, that is the right one for the H3.

My son asked a few at HQ and no one knows of any problems with the chrome cap.

What we think is that the normal everyday person cannot install it by themselves.

Here is the cap alone - hope this helps...

H3OH · #37 08-21-2005, 05:27 PM

That is wild. I was standing right there when the guy in the parts department called up the GM parts department and asked for that part number. He put it on speaker phone so I could hear, and he said only a few were sent out then they were recalled due to an assembly issue. What that issue is I have no clue, but I was standing right there and heard it direct. He could have easily fed me that info to get the one they had in stock, but did that and told me that it didn't matter which one I wanted.

I'll ask around.

Sharkster · #38 08-21-2005, 05:35 PM

Thanks for the photo, H3Lady... and thanks for the info, H3OH.

Damn... that cap is ugly.

But still I would love to have it. Don't feel comfortable with my tank wide open for everyone who (for whatever reason) wants to play around with it.

I am calling monday to the right person at HQ my son know. I will find out what the problem is.
As for my cap and chrome door, it's perfect..and I can't see what wrong with it. If it is, I am blind. It is strong and plated well.

OH, that's it, maybe be a bad batch of plating.. I know they are picky on the plating...

H3Lady · #40 08-22-2005, 05:30 PM

The only thing is re-packaging to include the lock cap. To many people complained. Price may only raise a few buck only THAT IS ALL

I think I know who is getting the next load of them.
