DETROIT (Reuters) - General Motors Corp. is recalling 804,000 full-size pickup trucks and sport utility vehicles because of potential brake problems, federal safety regulators said Tuesday.

 

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said unwanted application of the antilock brake system in some vehicles can cause increased stopping distances during low-speed braking and may result in a crash.

 

Vehicles affected by the recall include the Chevrolet Avalanche and Silverado pickups and the Chevrolet Suburban and Tahoe SUVs. The GMC Sierra pickup and Yukon and Yukon XL SUVs are also affected. All 804,000 vehicles trucks are from the 1999-2002 model years, NHTSA said.

 

GM, the world's largest automaker, had more vehicle recalls than any other manufacturer in the United States last year.

 

I guess I should check with my dealer to see if I fall into this recall.

Your dealer won't get the recall for 3 months. So they will have no clue about the recall yet.

Us dealers got a memo on it today,BUT..... It won't be offically out for a few months (There telling us November),And thats when they will start sending out letters to inform you to bring your truck in for service.

I had an accident last month that I'm pretty sure would fall under this recall. Gotta wait 'til November though.........

I have a 2003 Sierra and am wondering what is changed on it for it NOT to be included in the recall?

My 96 Blazer had this issue. I complained about it from day 1 to my wife, even drew-up a cool bypass-system. After a few months, finally got a recall notice on it.

 

It was better, but still sucky.

 

 

I gotta say, my Quad has some of the meanest brakes I've ever enjoyed, and the abs is dialed in totally-sweetly Never once complained about these brakes.

 

 

 

 

Now, my Cherokee is another story
