Component: Air Bags > Frontal > Sensor/control Module
Manufacturer: General Motors Corp.
Description:
On certain pickup and utility trucks, some of these vehicles have an air bag sensing diagnostic module (sdm) which contains an anomaly that could result in the driver and passenger's air bag failing to deploy during certain frontal crashes.
Consequencs:
In a vehicle crash, front seat occupants may receive more severe injuries.
Notes:
Dealers will recalibrate the sdm on the affected vehicles. owner notification began august 28, 2002. owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact chevrolet at 1-800-222-1020 or gmc at 1-800-462-8782.

Component: Service Brakes, Hydraulic > Foundation Components > Hoses, Lines/piping, And Fittings
Manufacturer: General Motors Corp.
Description:
Vehicle description: light duty pickup trucks and sport utility vehicles. some of these vehicles have a clearance condition between the front right-hand brake pipe and the body cross sill that could decrease to the point of allowing contact during the life of the vehicle. if contact occurs and the brake pipe becomes damaged, in half of the brake system there can be a loss of brake fluid and pressure. the brake warning lamp will be activated when the brake fluid level reaches the indicator limit.
Consequencs:
During braking, the pedal will be lower than normal and stopping distances will be longer. if this occurs when stopping distance is limited, a crash could occur.
Notes:
Dealers will inspect the front right-hand brake pipe for wear. if there are signs of wear, this section of the brake pipe will be replaced with a new designed brake pipe section. if there are not signs of wear on the brake pipe, the dealer will install a spacer clip to ensure sufficient clearance between the brake pipe and the body cross sill.

Component: Service Brakes, Hydraulic > Antilock
Manufacturer: General Motors Corp.
Description:
Certain pickup trucks and sport utility vehicles may experience unwanted antilock brake system (abs) activation. this condition is more likely to occur in environmentally corrosive areas. this recall will be launched in the "salt belt" states of connecticut, delaware, illinois, indiana, iowa, maryland, massachusetts, maine, michigan, minnesota, missouri, new hampshire, new jersey, new york, ohio, pennsylvania, rhode island, vermont, west virginia, wisconsin and the district of columbia only.
Consequencs:
This can cause increased stopping distances during low-speed brake applications, which could result in a crash.
Notes:
Dealers are to remove the wheel speed sensor and thoroughly clean the wheel speed sensor mounting surface on the bearing, apply rust inhibitor to the cleaned surface, grease the mounting surface, reinstall the wheel speed sensor, and check the peak-to-peak output voltage to ensure the wheel speed signal is within specifications. the recall began september 22, 2005. owners may contact chevrolet at 1-800-630-2438 or gmc at 1-866-996-9463.

Component: Fuel System, Gasoline > Delivery > Fuel Pump
Manufacturer: General Motors Corp.
Description:
Certain trucks and sport utility vehicles were built with fuel module reservoir assemblies that contain fuel pump wires connectors may overheat under certain operating conditions.
Consequencs:
If the ignition circuit wire is exposed, the fuel pump fuse will blow, disabling the fuel pump and causing an engine stall or no-start condition. if sufficient heat is conducted to the pass-through connector, a hole in the connector may result, which may cause a 'service engine soon' light to be illuminated during the emission system diagnostic routine. fuel vapor and in some cases liquid fuel may leak out of the fuel tank through the hole in the connector body. fuel leakage, in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a fire. also if the ignition circuit or ground wire is exposed and shorts to the fuel level sender card wires, inaccurate fuel level readings may result.
Notes:
Dealers will remove the fuel tank, and remove the module reservoir assemblies from the tank, and install a new service kit free of charge. an interim letter to owners was mailed on may 25, 2005. the owners were re-notified on october 19, 2005, since parts are now availabe. owners may contact chevrolet at 1-800-630-2438 and gmc at 1-866-996-9463.

Component: Seat Belts > Front > Retractor
Manufacturer: General Motors Corp.
Description:
Vehicle description: pickup and utility trucks. some of these vehicles have an internal component in the outboard seat belt retractors for the 2nd and 3rd row of seats that could be cracked. with repeated actuation of the locking mechanism, the crack could spread to the point such that the seat belt would no longer lock.
Consequencs:
In a crash, increased occupant injury could result from the no-lock condition.
Notes:
Dealers will inspect the outboard seat belts for specific lot numbers and replace the belts if necessary. gm is enclosing an inspection procedure for the owners to use or they can have their dealers do the inspections. owner notification began july 2, 2001. owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact chevrolet at 1-800-222-1020 or gmc at 1-800-462-8782.

Description:
Vehicle description: light duty pickup trucks and sport utility vehicles. some of these vehicles have loose or missing rear wheelhouse plugs. under certain vehicle operating conditions, exhaust gases can flow forward and accumulate in the rear wheelhouse.
Consequencs:
These gases could flow into the passenger compartment if the plug is missing or loose and could cause possible illness, unconsciousness, or death.
Notes:
Dealers will inspect the vehicle for loose or missing wheelhouse plugs and install new plugs if necessary.

Tire description: wilderness le tires (both black and raised white letter tires) produced during the week of april 24, 2000 (the seventeenth week of 2000) at the cuernavaca, mexico plant with tire serial numbers v672wl11700 (blackwall) and v672wl21700 (raised white letters). these tires were used as original equipment on model year 2000 yukon xl 1500 series vehicles and were also offered as optional equipment on the 2000 chevrolet suburban 1500 series vehicles. tread separation can occur due to a lack of adhesion to the first steel belt.
Consequencs:
Tread belt separation may be noticed by irregular wear, noise, or vibration. with continued use, it may lead to complete separation of the tread/belt package from the tire carcass, possibly resulting in a vehicle crash, personal injury, or death.
Notes:
