I melt plastic for a living---primarily extrusion. I've messed with
the pieces left over after a G17 grip frame reduction, and they
appear to be a nylon of some sort.

Typical castable nylon properties:

Continuous use temperature 200°F +

Softening temperature 300°F +

Melt temperature 400°F +

So----Nope, the heat in a truck won't hurt it. If it is in direct
sunlight it would probably affect it after long exposure, most polymers
eventually show some signs of UV degradation.
