The vehicle (where a record says)

A record is under an engine, a drive or a series only where it says so: the characters of the vehicle identification number filed with a complaint, its text, or what its document says it applies to. A record that does not say is kept as "not stated". The filed numbers and the documents do not tell 4WD from AWD.

Common on this vehicle:Vibration or shudderTyre failure (blowout, tread separation)NoiseWarning lightCorrosion or rustLeakAir conditioning or heaterABS activates (at low speed and the like)

Record by record

21 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.

Symptom

Component named as the cause

Work done

How it is said to have ended

  • says it held for a while1
  • says it did not fix it2
  • result not stated15

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.

    Read the sentences of the record
    Cause
    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.
    Remedy
    ON JANUARY 2, 2001, FIRESTONE MADE A PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE DEFECT AND THAT REPLACEMENT TIRES ARE IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE AT NO COST TO THE CUSTOMER. REPLACEMENT TIRES ARE AVAILABLE AT EITHER THEIR LOCAL GM OR CHEVROLET DEALER OR BY THEIR LOCAL AUTHORIZED PARTICIPATING FIRESTONE RETAILER. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN JANUARY 1, 2001. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT FIRESTONE AT 1-800-465-1904.
    Consequence
    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.

Known issuesAftermarket part (not the vehicle as built): Federal-Mogul National / Carquest replacement wheel hub assembly retention nut - recall 07E-1061

  1. Recall2000–2006 GMC YUKON ・ —

    Wheel Hub Assembly Bearing Nut Loosening Recall

    1. 1Fault

      • The inboard retention nut that maintains the hub bearing assembly can loosen, resulting in an ABS light indication, noise, and/or wheel separation from the vehicle; wheel separation can result in a vehicle crash.

    2. 2Finding the cause

      Steps to confirm (in the document’s order)

      1. On 2x4 vehicles, raise the vehicle on an approved hoist first; the hub assembly is good if a yellow, green or blue paint mark is seen on the grease cap on the inboard side of the steering knuckle.
      2. If the paint mark is not present, remove the wheel and the brake rotor and clean rust from the hub assembly face to check for the date code stamping.
      3. Defective hub assemblies can be identified by the country of origin on the package together with a recalled date code, by the date code on the package, or by the date code on the hub assembly.
      4. If a round yellow sticker is present on the box label, the part is good.

    3. 3Correction

      Repair

      1. The hub assemblies were manufactured for aftermarket use; owners of these parts should have them removed and replaced as soon as possible.
      2. Federal-Mogul will replace the recalled hub assemblies free of charge.

      Parts

      • The recalled part numbers are 515020, 515021, 515025, 515053, 515054, 515059 and 515060.

Known issuesGrease seen at front hub bearing seals (normal purge, do not replace)1

  1. Manufacturer communication2004–2006 GMC YUKON DENALI ・ 2017-08-15

    Front hub bearing grease leakage preliminary information

    1. 1Fault

      • Grease may move radially outward from the bearing seal area onto adjoining components.

    2. 2Finding the cause

      Possible causes

      • The factory grease fill of the front bearing/hub assembly is more than the bearing needs for lubrication over the life of the vehicle.
      • Part of the grease purges through the self-venting bearing seals during the initial drive period (a few thousand miles/kilometers) and helps form an extra barrier against contamination.

      Steps to confirm (in the document’s order)

      1. Replace the bearing if its endplay is greater than 0.005" or 0.13mm.
      2. Replace the bearing if the seals show visible damage.
      3. Replace the bearing if it rotates roughly.
      4. Replace the bearing if it makes abnormal noise.

    3. 3Correction

      Repair

      • If desired, grease that has migrated away from the immediate seal area can be wiped off.

      Caution

      • Do not replace the bearing for grease purge, and do not clean the purged grease on or right next to the seals, because it gives additional protection.
    Read the sentences of the record

    From the manufacturer’s document

    • Applies to：Applies to 2004-2013 GMC Sierra, Sierra Classic, Yukon and Yukon Denali models (note: the Yukon years run later than the years this service covers).
    • Condition：Grease may move radially outward from the bearing seal area onto adjoining components.
    • Cause：The factory grease fill of the front bearing/hub assembly is more than the bearing needs for lubrication over the life of the vehicle.
    • Cause：Part of the grease purges through the self-venting bearing seals during the initial drive period (a few thousand miles/kilometers) and helps form an extra barrier against contamination.
    • Caution：Do not replace the bearing for grease purge, and do not clean the purged grease on or right next to the seals, because it gives additional protection.
    • Repair：If desired, grease that has migrated away from the immediate seal area can be wiped off.
    • Confirm：Replace the bearing if its endplay is greater than 0.005" or 0.13mm.
    • Confirm：Replace the bearing if the seals show visible damage.
    • Confirm：Replace the bearing if it rotates roughly.
    • Confirm：Replace the bearing if it makes abnormal noise.

    Open the manufacturer’s document (PDF) ↗ The points above were read from this document.

    Remedy
    This Preliminary Information communication provides information to the technician about vehicles that have grease leaking from front hub bearings. Technician should not replace the bearing for grease purge. Technician should be advised to not clean the purged grease from the area immediately on or adjacent to the seals because this grease provides additional protection. Technician should only replace the bearing if the seals show visible damage, bearing endplay is greater than 0.005" or 0.13mm, bearing exhibits rough rotation, or bearing exhibits abnormal noise.

TIRES2

  1. Manufacturer communication2003–2006 GMC YUKON DENALI ・ 2022-06-13

    Tire Pressure Service Information

    1. 1Fault

      • Ride, handling and road noise concerns may be caused by improperly adjusted tire pressure.
      • During cold weather the Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) indicator (a yellow horseshoe with an exclamation point) may illuminate.

    2. 2Finding the cause

      Steps to confirm (in the document’s order)

      1. The first step in diagnosing these concerns is to verify that the tires are inflated to the correct pressures.
      2. The tire placard is on the driver's side front or rear door edge, the center pillar, or the rear compartment lid.
      3. Generally a 5.6°C (10°F) temperature change equals a 6.9 kPa (1 psi) tire pressure change.
      4. A "cold" tire is one that has sat for at least 3 hours or been driven no more than 1.6 km (1 mi).

    3. 3Correction

      Repair

      • If the indicator goes off after the tires warm up, reset the pressure to placard pressure at the cold temperature.

      Caution

      • The recommended inflation pressure is not the pressure printed on the tire sidewall.
      • Always inspect and adjust the pressure when the tires are cold.
      • Vehicles with different front and rear pressures need to be adjusted after tire rotation.
      • To prevent electrostatic discharge damage to the Tire Pressure Monitoring Sensor (TPMS), the technician should be statically discharged before checking or filling tires.
