2000 Silverado Recall

[woyster_00z71]

Has anyone heard about this recall? Does anyone know if it applies to all 2000 Silverados or just certain ones manufactured between specific dates? I know Chevrolet will send out a letter letting me know but I just wanted to see if anyone else had heard about it. I heard about it this morning on the way to work and just looked up the information.

 

 

Make : CHEVROLET Model : SILVERADO Year : 2000

Manufacturer : GENERAL MOTORS CORP.

NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID Number : 05V005000 Recall Date : JAN 05, 2005

Component: POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE:DRIVESHAFT

Potential Number Of Units Affected : 98221

Summary:

SOME PICKUP TRUCKS, VANS, AND SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH A HYDRAULIC PUMP DRIVESHAFT THAT CAN FRACTURE, RESULTING IN IMMEDIATE LOSS OF HYDRAULIC POWER STEERING ASSIST. ON CERTAIN VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH HYDRO-BOOST POWER BRAKES, THE SAME CONDITION CAN RESULT IN LOSS OF POWER ASSIST FOR BRAKING AFTER THE RESERVE PRESSURE IS DEPLETED.

Consequence:

AN INOPERATIVE PUMP CAN CAUSE INCREASED STEERING EFFORT, AND IN HYDRO-BOOST EQUIPPED VEHICLES ALSO INCREASED BRAKING EFFORT, BUT DOES NOT COMPLETELY ELIMINATE THE ABILITY TO STEER OR SLOW THE VEHICLE.

Remedy:

DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE HYDRAULIC PUMP. THE CAMPAIGN IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN DURING FEBRUARY 2005. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT CHEVROLET AT 1-800-630-2438 OR GMC AT 1-866-996-9463.

Notes:

GM CAMPAIGN NO. 05001. THIS ACTION IS DEEMED A SAFETY IMPROVEMENT CAMPAIGN AND IS NOT BEING CONDUCTED UNDER THE SAFETY ACT. THE COMPANY HAS INFORMED NHTSA THAT IT WILL PROVIDE THE MODIFICATIONS DESCRIBED ABOVE FREE OF CHARGE.
