The PI lists trucks with a vin number before 68287591 (last eight of vin) might be effected .
This is why I never buy a first-year model of ANY vehicle. I'll be buying my '07 H3 in a few months. Might even wait for the '08 to roll out.
By the way, this is fantastic information, I really aprpeciate it. It's nice to know exactly what VIN numbers to avoid when I'm at the dealership.

SO glad we could be of some help to you  ..that's what we are here for! I believe most of us with any lick of sense are well aware of that rule..it was my cardinal rule (well one of them LOL) I however find that being of the 1st H3 model owners was/is well worth any inconvenience I may have suffered, for I have gotten FAR MORE joy out of it then inconvenience! And I believe MOST others here will confer with me, for we were unigue!

Hmmmm... My truck has about 17,000 miles on It, and falls Into that VIN catagory!!!
So far so good, runs smooth with lots of pep, more than your usual H3 for some reason, was even told this by a Mechanic at the dealers. I hope I'm one of the lucky ones without this problem!!!

The truth is that GM shipped the H3's with a defective head. All H3's made before 4/1/06 have heads that are defective. After that date, the H3 was built with new heads.
Mine was made in March 06. I bought it April 29 06.This means that mine was made, and was sold, with GM knowing that it has a head that has a fairly good chance of developing a problem. If I had known about the problem I would have delayed the purchase for a month. I am very upset with this.
I took the truck to Colorado in September, ran several 4x4 roads, a 3000 mile round trip. I am not sure I would do this again, and risk the problem developing a long way from home, and then have to deal with a week long repair a long way from home. This is a vehicle disabling problem.
To ad insult to injury, the 07 H3, which does not have a defective head, has a 100,000 mile warranty.
Everyone with a vehicle made before 4/1/06 should complain to Hummer, and GM. This was sold as a premier brand, and we should not have been treated like this.

Actually n5bxp some of your info is a tad inaccurate. My H3 was produced AFTER 04/01/06 according to my door panel and I still had the head problem. Mine also occurred while I was on a 2000 mile RT to the mountains. I was able to drive it for a week (with just a rough idle problem) until I could get it back home and to the dealer. There are some others here that have driven theirs for awhile or were told by the dealer that they could while parts were on backorder.
In agreement, yes this is a major problem and YES GM should take care of us! I don't dispute that at all. If you read my previous warranty posts then you will have seen my conversation regarding the 07 warranty with the GM rep who handled my case file. I told them this was a major slap in the face to those of us who went against our grain in purchasing a brand new vehicle in 1st year production, thus helping to make the H3 the huge success that it has been!
