Record by record
13 records state a cause or a remedy. Each record is shown as short labels in the order fault → finding the cause → correction. Press a label to narrow to the records that state it.

How it is said to have ended
- says it came back2
- says it did not fix it4
A ribbon is as wide as the records that state both of its ends (only the commonest are drawn). A record that names several symptoms or components runs through each. Orange is records that say the fault came back or was not fixed. Results come from owners’ reports only; one that does not say is “result not stated”. None of this is a likelihood of a cause or a rate at which work succeeds.

Known issuesCrankshaft position sensor may work intermittently or fail (8.1L V8) - recall 07V-5211
Recall2001 GMC YUKON ・ 2007-07-11
Crankshaft Position Sensor Failure Recall
1Fault
- The crankshaft position sensor can fail intermittently or permanently; if it fails intermittently, the Service Engine Soon (SES) light may illuminate and the vehicle may run rough.
- The engine may also stall and may re-start immediately or after a cool down period; if the sensor fails permanently, the engine will quit running and will not re-start.
- If this happens while the vehicle is moving, a crash could result without prior warning.
2Finding the cause
Possible causes
- Variations in the crankshaft position sensor manufacturing process caused an elevated rate of intermittent or inoperative sensors.
3Correction
Repair
- Replace the engine crankshaft position sensor following the appropriate SI service procedure.
- The repair listed for the claim is: replace the crankshaft position sensor and perform the Crankshaft Position System Variation Learn.
Parts
- Part: 12575172 Sensor, Crankshaft Position, quantity 1 per vehicle.

- Cause
- ON CERTAIN PICKUP TRUCKS EQUIPPED WITH AN 8.1L V8 ENGINE, THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION CAN OPERATE INTERMITTENTLY OR FAIL COMPLETELY. IF THE SENSOR OPERATES INTERMITTENTLY, THE SES LIGHT MAY ILLUMINATE AND THE VEHICLE MAY RUN ROUGH. THE ENGINE MAY STALL, AND IF SO, MAY RE-START IMMEDIATELY OR AFTER A COOL DOWN PERIOD.
- Remedy
- DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON DECEMBER 18, 2007. OWNERS MAY CONTACT CHEVROLET AT 1-800-630-2438 AND GMC AT 1-866-996-9463.
- Consequence
