Limited data — recalls on file
NHTSA has just 3 complaints on file for the 1995 GMC S15 — too few to judge reliability from owner reports alone — but one recall campaign applies to this year, so any used example should have its VIN checked for completed recall work.

Defect
FAN BLADE RIVET BREAKAGE CAN OCCUR CAUSING THE FAN BLADE TO SEPARATE FROM THE SPIDER.
Consequence
IF THIS OCCURRED WHILE THE HOOD WAS OPEN, A PERSON WORKING UNDER THE HOOD OF THE VEHICLE OR IN THE VICINITY OF THE VEHICLE COULD BE STRUCK BY THE FAN BLADE AND INJURED.
Remedy
DEALERS WILL INSPECT AND REPLACE, IF NECESSARY, THE FAN WITH A NEWER FAN HAVING THICKER-HEADED RIVETS.
