Recall 00V055000 · manufacturer campaign 00013
Service Brakes, Hydraulic › Antilock/traction Control/electronic Limited Slip — Chevrolet, GMC · reported 28 Feb 2000 · 10,674 vehicles potentially affected
What's wrong
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: LIGHT DUTY PICKUP TRUCKS EQUIPPED WITH 4-WHEEL DISC BRAKES. SOME OF THESE VEHICLES HAVE AN ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS) MOTOR CONTAINING AN OUT-OF-SPECIFICATION SPRING CLIP. THIS CLIP COULD ALLOW THE MOTOR BEARING TO BECOME MISALIGNED. IF MISALIGNMENT OCCURS, EVENTUALLY THE ABS WOULD BE NON-FUNCTIONAL.
The risk
THE BASE BRAKES WOULD REMAIN FULLY FUNCTIONAL, BUT THE DYNAMIC REAR PROPORTIONING (DRP) SYSTEM, WHICH OPTIMIZES FRONT TO REAR BRAKE BALANCE, WOULD BECOME INOPERATIVE.
The fix
DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE BRAKE PRESSURE MODULE VALVE ASSEMBLY.
