    Brake pipe (brake line) corrosion and rupture

    Why it happens:The pipes' steel-copper construction is vulnerable to galvanic corrosion if exposed to the environment.

    • If left:Corroded brake lines may rupture during a brake application, reducing brake effectiveness.
    • If left:The worst case is failure of the front circuit (rear-only braking) with a lightly loaded vehicle.
    • If left:GM stated that the brake system is split front/rear and that, should a brake pipe suddenly fail, the vehicle would be capable of stopping with the pressure supplied by the remaining circuit.
    • If left:Most of the failures reported to ODI occurred in vehicles with more than 10 years in service.

    Caution:Analysis of repair records indicates that consumers often elect to repair only the failed circuit.

  • BrakesModel years 2000–2006Manufacturer

    ABS light with C0265/C0201/U1041 or no communication with brake module (EBCM ground G110)

    First signs:Upon inspection, DTCs C0265 and C0201 may be set in the brake module.

    • If left:DTC U1041 can also set in other modules.
    • If left:A poor connection at the EBCM ground is causing brake modules to be replaced unnecessarily.

    Caution:Do not replace the brake module for this condition; do the ground repair before further EBCM diagnosis.

    Factory trailer hitch receiver bent, broken or weld failure

    Why it happens:The OEM hitch receiver is made of welded steel tube and plates and is attached to the frame rail at the rear of the vehicle.

    • If left:In the GM hitch design, when the receiver box assembly breaks away, the chain plate carrying the safety chain and emergency brake activation anchorages may tear off with it.

    Caution:VRTC's sectioning of welds and material analysis of the inspected units showed proper weld quality and steel material; it found no weld quality issue in its survey, vehicle inspections or parts analyses.

3 records that touch this generation only at its boundary (model year 2000); not counted for this vehicle

In model year 2000 the previous generation was also sold under the same name. These records state no other model year of this generation, and either state years outside it or call the vehicle the old style: they do not say which generation they mean, so they are not counted among the causes or under the cards. The ground for the shared year:
