General Motors issued a recall and stop sale on heavy-duty vans including the 2010 [Chevrolet](http://www.autoblog.com/make/chevrolet)[Express](http://www.autoblog.com/tag/express) and [GMC Savana](http://www.autoblog.com/make/gmc) due to a problem with the alternator that could potentially lead to a fire. GM advises owners to stop driving the vehicles immediately. adding that vehicles should be parked away from buildings and vehicles, and owners should promptly disconnect both battery cables. Vehicles should not be used until GM has come up with a fix for the problem.

Many of the recalled vans are owned by company fleets. The recall includes all 2500, 3500, and 4500 models built in February and March of this year. Light duty vans are excluded from the recall because they utilize a different alternator. Some of the affected vehicles are utilized for retail operations and as rentals. With the stop sale order, the vans cannot be sold to customers and can not be rented from car rental agencies.
