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.

Record by record

1830 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 was fixed12
  • says it held for a while16
  • says it came back34
  • says it did not fix it46
  • result not stated166

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 issuesHydro-boost brake assist and power steering share one hydraulic supply (four campaigns)4

  1. Recall2004–2005 GMC YUKON XL ・ 2005-08-02

    Bosch Hydro-Boost Brake Accumulator Crack Recall

    1. 1Fault

      • The hydraulic brake booster's pressure accumulator may crack and/or separate from the Hydro-Boost assembly in normal operation; if it separates with the hood open, fragments could injure people nearby.
      • The crack or fractured surface could let hydraulic fluid leak from the accumulator circuit of the booster, and the loss of fluid would increase steering and braking effort.

    2. 2Finding the cause

      Possible causes

      • The over-pressurization comes from a two-function valve (TFV) that does not open within its specified limits while the hydraulic fluid in the accumulator circuit expands as the booster is exposed to rising under-hood temperatures.

      Steps to confirm (in the document’s order)

      1. With the engine OFF, make at least five (5) high effort brake applies until the pedal feels hard.
      2. Turn the steering wheel to the steering lock (fully turned) position, hold for 1 to 2 seconds, then release; do this a total of 3 times.
      3. Install the inlet port adapter, CH 47950-2, into the booster supply port and slowly tighten it with a torque wrench to 16 N·m (12 lb ft).
      4. Install the accumulator pressure clamp, CH 47950-1, by sliding it over the accumulator so that it straddles the hydro-boost housing.
      5. If fluid comes out of the inlet port adapter at up to 65 N·m (48 lb ft) maximum torque on the clamp bolt, the hydro-boost booster assembly is OK.

    3. 3Correction

      Repair

      1. If no fluid is seen, complete Steps 19-27 and repeat Steps 1-18; if no fluid is visible in the second evaluation, replace the hydro-boost unit.
      2. After the test, reinstall the supply hose/tube to the booster and tighten to 28 N·m (21 lb ft).
      3. When the booster is replaced, install the 4 booster to bulkhead nuts and tighten them to 36 N·m (26 lb ft).

      Caution

      • The inspection uses the Hydro-Boost Checking Tool, CH 47950, shipped to each dealer.
      • After starting the engine, do not depress the brake pedal until instructed.
      • Incorrect installation of the fixture washer will damage the accumulator end.

    Cause
    CERTAIN TRUCKS, SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES, AND VANS EQUIPPED WITH BOSCH HYDRO-BOOST BRAKE ASSEMBLIES, THE HYDRAULIC BRAKE BOOSTER PRESSURE ACCUMULATOR MAY CRACK AND SEPARATE FROM THE HYDRO-BOOST ASSEMBLY DURING NORMAL OPERATING CONDITIONS.
    Remedy
    DEALERS WILL TEST THE HYDRO-BOOST ASSEMBLY FOR FUNCTIONAL OPERATION OF THE TWO-FUNCTION VALVE. IF THE HYDRO-BOOST ASSEMBLY FAILS THE TEST, DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE ASSEMBLY FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON MARCH 23, 2005. OWNERS MAY CONTACT CHEVROLET AT 1-800-630-2438, GMC TRUCKS AT 1-866-996-9463 AND HUMMER AT 1-800-732-5493.
    Consequence
    IF A SEPARATION OCCURRED AND THE HOOD OF THE VEHICLE WERE OPEN, FRAGMENTS FROM THE ACCUMULATOR COULD CAUSE INJURY TO PEOPLE IN THE IMMEDIATE AREA. THE PRESENCE OF THIS CRACK OR FRACTURED SURFACE COULD ALLOW THE HYDRAULIC FLUID TO LEAK FROM THE ACCUMULATOR CIRCUIT OF THE BOOSTER ASSEMBLY. THE LOSS OF FLUID WOULD CAUSE INCREASED STEERING AND BRAKING EFFORT AND A CRASH MAY OCCUR WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING.

  2. Recall2000 GMC YUKON XL ・ 2005-07-01

    Hydraulic Pump Driveshaft Fracture Recall

    1. 1Fault

      • The driveshaft in the power steering hydraulic pump can fracture, which results in loss of hydraulic power assist for steering.
      • On vehicles with Hydro-Boost power brakes the same condition can also remove power assist for braking; an inoperative pump raises steering effort, and braking effort on Hydro-Boost vehicles, but the vehicle can still be steered and slowed.

    2. 2Finding the cause

      Possible causes

      • The pump supplier, Delphi-Saginaw Plant 3, had salvaged 45,000 rejected pump rotors by manually regrinding them from oversize dimensions to a thickness within tolerance.

    3. 3Correction

      Repair

      1. Dealers are to replace the power steering hydraulic pump.
      2. On EVO equipped pumps, lubricate the new o-ring seal taken from the replacement pump fitting with clean power steering fluid and install it in the correct groove in the EVO actuator.

  3. Recall2003–2004 GMC YUKON XL ・ 2004-04-02

    Brake Hydro-Boost Housing Relief Valve Bore Recall

    1. 1Fault

      • The relief valve bore in the brake hydro-boost module may be out of specification, which could fracture the relief valve o-ring seal inside the module.
      • If the seal fractures, the driver may hear during braking an engine compartment noise like the one made when the steering wheel is turned to a full stop, and may feel slightly higher steering effort while braking and parking.
      • Under certain driving conditions a fractured seal may require slightly more brake pedal effort for the same deceleration, which could result in a crash without prior warning.

    2. 2Finding the cause

      Possible causes

      • Inspection found a machining error in the relief bore cavity of modules produced on one of the automated boring machines used for the base housing.

      Steps to confirm (in the document’s order)

      1. Look at the color of the relief valve: if it is metallic yellow or looks like brass, no further action is required.
      2. If a yellow, pink or white paint mark is visible, no further inspection or repair is required, and any stamped number is to be disregarded.
      3. With no paint marks and a stamped number 2, 3 or 4 visible, no further inspection or repair is required.
      4. If a stamped number 1 is visible on the machined surface, the relief valve must be replaced.

    3. 3Correction

      Repair

      1. With the ignition OFF, pump the brake pedal at least ten times.
      2. Unscrew the original relief valve from the hydraulic brake booster with the tool supplied with the new relief valve.
      3. Insert the new relief valve into the bore and tighten it to 17 N·m (13 lb ft).
      4. With the master cylinder mounted flush to the booster, install the nuts and tighten them to 33 N·m (24 lb ft).

    3. 3Correction

      Not stated

      What the documents say to do

      Hydro-boost brake assist and power steering share one hydraulic supply (four campaigns)

      Confirm

      • Perform the "Power Steering System Test" found in SI and make any necessary repairs based on system diagnosis.

      Repair

      1. Dealers replace the hydro-boost relief valve.
      2. Dealers test the hydro-boost assembly for functional operation and replace it if it fails.

      Caution

      • An inoperative pump raises steering and braking effort but does not completely remove the ability to steer or slow the vehicle.
    Read the sentences of the record
    Cause
    On certain vehicles, the hydraulic brake booster's pressure accumulator may crack and/or separate from the Hydro-Boost assembly during normal vehicle operating conditions. If a separation occurred and the hood of the vehicle was open, fragments from the accumulator could cause injury to people in the immediate area. In addition, the presence of this crack or fractured surface could allow the hydraulic fluid to leak from the accumulator circuit of the booster assembly. The loss of fluid would cause increased steering and braking effort. Correction: Dealers will test and, if necessary, replace the Hydro-Boost assembly.

Known issuesUnwanted ABS activation at low speed (front wheel speed sensor mounting corrosion)2

  1. Recall2000–2002 GMC YUKON XL ・ —

    ABS activation recall in pickup trucks and SUVs

    1. 1Fault

      • Corrosion may occur between the front hub/bearing assembly and the wheel speed sensor; if the brakes are applied at a speed greater than 6 km/h (3.7 mph) but less than 16 km/h (10 mph), the corrosion may cause an unwanted ABS activation.
      • If this occurred where stopping distance is limited, a crash could occur.
      • The condition does not set any ABS codes and does not illuminate the ABS warning lamp.

    2. 2Finding the cause

      Steps to confirm (in the document’s order)

      1. Check the mounting surface on the sensor head for flatness against a metal machinist's scale or other straight edge, in multiple positions/directions (minimum 3).
      2. With the bearing rotated at about one revolution per second, the reading should be at least 350 ACmV; if it is less than 350 ACmV the wheel speed sensor must be replaced.

    3. 3Correction

      Repair

      1. If the mounting surface on the sensor is warped or bent, the sensor must be replaced.
      2. Thoroughly clean the wheel speed sensor mounting surface on the bearing hub with a wire brush, sandpaper, emery cloth, scotch brite or equivalent to remove any rust or corrosion.
      3. Spray two thin coats of the specified rust penetrating lubricant (corrosion inhibitor) on the complete sensor mounting surface on the bearing hub, letting it dry between coats.
      4. When the corrosion inhibitor is dry to the touch (about 10 minutes), apply a light coating of the specified grease to the complete sensor mounting surface on the bearing hub and to the sensor and O-ring.
      5. Tighten the wheel speed sensor mounting bolt to 18 N·m (13 lb ft).

      Repair

      1. Dealers install a new blower motor resistor and resistor module connector.
      2. Cut the wires back far enough to remove any melted insulation.

      Caution

      • The connector must be replaced even if it was replaced in an earlier repair.
    Read the sentences of the record
    Cause
    On certain vehicles, the interface between the electrical terminals of the Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) blower relay resistor module and the wiring connector (which powers the module) may be incapable of conducting higher current levels for sustained periods of operation. In addition, moisture and other contaminants (such as road de-icing materials) may enter the fresh air intake plenum and contact the internal circuit of the module or corrode the terminals. These conditions may cause the relay resistor module or wiring connector to overheat, causing various symptoms such as: the HVAC blower may not function on certain or all blower speed settings; a burning-plastic smell or smoke may be present in the vehicle, or; the HVAC blower may run continually with the ignition in the OFF position. These warning signs could, in certain instances, be leading indicators of an impending vehicle fire, which could result in property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Owners will be provided with additional warranty coverage for the blower motor resistor module/wiring connector overheating condition. Under this "special warranty coverage", should this condition occur within 10 years or 240,000 km from first vehicle registration, dealers will install a replacement blower motor resistor and resistor module connector.

    • Cause：The second shift operator at the assembly plant did not follow the standardized work instruction, so the clip was not always installed; only vehicles built on the second shift were found with clips missing.
    • Confirm：Inspect for the presence and proper installation of the brake pushrod retaining clip.
    • Repair：Install a new clip if necessary.
    • Parts：Very few vehicles are expected to need a brake pedal pushrod retainer; if one is needed, it is ordered on a CSO (Customer Special Order). No part number is printed.
    Cause
    ON CERTAIN SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES, THE BRAKE PEDAL PUSHROD RETAINER MAY BE MISSING. IF THE RETAINER IS MISSING, THE BRAKE BOOSTER PUSHROD COULD DISENGAGE FROM THE BRAKE PEDAL.
    Remedy
    DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE VEHICLES FOR THE BRAKE PEDAL PUSHROD RETAINER AND INSTALL ONE IF IT IS MISSING FREE OF CHARGE. THE MANUFACTURER BEGAN CONTACTING OWNERS BY TELEPHONE ON MARCH 10, 2005. OWNERS MAY CONTACT CHEVROLET AT 1-800-630-2438 OR GMC AT 1-866-996-9463.

      What the documents say to do

      Crankshaft position sensor may work intermittently or fail (8.1L V8) - recall 07V-521

      Repair

      1. Dealers replace the crankshaft position sensor.
      2. As the remedy, an improved CKP is installed.

      Caution

      • All of the surveyed consumers noted multiple stalling events before the CKP was properly diagnosed and replaced.
    Read the sentences of the record
    Cause
    On certain vehicles equipped with an 8.1L engine, the crankshaft position sensor may fail. If the sensor operates intermittently, the Service Engine Soon (SES) light may illuminate and the vehicle may run rough. In addition, the engine may stall, and if so, may re-start immediately or after a cool-down period. If the sensor becomes inoperable permanently, the engine will quit running and will not re-start. Engine stalling would result in lost propulsion which, in conjunction with traffic and road conditions, and the driver's reactions, could increase the risk of a crash. Correction: Dealers will replace the crankshaft position sensor.

Known issuesFuel module reservoir assembly: fuel pump wire connectors may overheat - recall 05V-1551

  1. Recall2000–2001 GMC YUKON XL ・ —

    Fuel Module Reservoir Assembly Overheating Recall

    1. 1Fault

      • Some vehicles were built with fuel module reservoir assemblies whose fuel pump wires and/or connectors may overheat under certain operating conditions.
      • If the exposed ignition circuit wire shorts to ground, the fuel pump fuse blows, disabling the fuel pump and causing an engine stall or no-start; if the ignition circuit or ground wire shorts to the fuel level sender card wires, fuel level readings may be inaccurate.
      • If enough heat reaches the pass-through connector, a hole may form in it, which may turn on the Service Engine Soon light during the emission system diagnostics routine; fuel vapor, and in some cases liquid fuel, may leak from the tank through the hole.
      • If enough fuel leaked out and an ignition source were present, a vehicle fire could occur.

    2. 2Finding the cause

      Possible causes

      • Fretting corrosion caused by vibration inside the tank was identified as the cause of high resistance within the fuel pump connector.

    3. 3Correction

    3. 3Correction

      Not stated

    Read the sentences of the record
    Cause
    On certain vehicles, the relief valve o-ring seal within the brake hydro-boost module could fail. If this happens during braking applications, the driver may be able to hear an engine compartment noise similar to the sound that occurs when the steering wheel is turned to a full stop position. The driver could also experience a slight increase in steering efforts while braking and parking. Under certain driving conditions, a slight increase in the applied brake pedal effort may be required to achieve the same vehicle deceleration rate as prior to the seal failure. Correction: Dealers will inspect the hydro-boost module, and replace it, if necessary.

    On certain vehicles, the 2nd row centre occupant seat belt routing may make it difficult to position the lap portion of the safety belt low around the hips of occupants. A lap portion of the seat belt routing that is not low and snug on the hips can allow unfavourable occupant kinetics in the event of a crash. Moreover, the higher routing allows the lap belt to ride up on an occupant's abdomen instead of fitting low around their hipbones, and therefore, can expose them to more risk of abdominal and internal organ injury. Correction: Dealers will modify the guide loop.

    Seat Belt Retractor Sensor Inoperative Recall

    1. 1Fault

    2. 2Finding the cause

      Certain vehicles fail to conform to CMVSS 209, seat belt assemblies. These vehicles have a condition where one or two sensors in the driver's and front seat passengers seat belt retractors may be inoperative. The seat belt retractors will lock when the belt webbing is extracted during a crash; however the mechanism that locks the seat belt retractor when the vehicle decelerates quickly, such as during heavy braking, may not restrain the occupant as intended during a crash, and could result in injury to the occupant. Correction update: None required as no effect on vehicle safety. See recall 04-158.

    2nd and 3rd Row Outboard Seat Belt Retractor Crack

    1. 1Fault

    2. 2Finding the cause

      Certain vehicles have an internal component in the 2nd and 3rd row outboard seat belt retractor that could be cracked. With repeated actuation of the locking mechanism, the crack could spread to the point where the seat belt would no longer lock. In a crash, increased occupant injury could result from the no-lock condition. Correction: Dealers will inspect the outboard seat belts for specific lot numbers and replace the belts if necessary. GM is enclosing an inspection procedure for the owners to use or they can have their dealers do the inspections.

    Fuel Module Reservoir Assembly Overheating Recall

    1. 1Fault

    2. 2Finding the cause

    3. 3Correction

      Not stated

    Read the sentences of the record
    Cause
    Certain vehicles were built with fuel module reservoir assemblies that contain fuel pump wires and/or connectors that may overheat under certain operating conditions. Fuel pump wires that overheat may become exposed and result in one or more conditions; 1) If the ignition circuit wire is exposed and shorts to ground, the fuel pump fuse will blow, disabling the fuel pump and causing an engine stall or no-start condition. 2) If sufficient heat is conducted to the pass-through connector, a hole in the connector may result, which may cause the Service Engine Soon light to be illuminated during the emission system diagnostics routine. Fuel vapour (and in some limited cases liquid fuel) may leak out of the fuel tank through the hole in the connector body. 3) If the ignition circuit or ground wire is exposed and shorts to the fuel level sender card wires, inaccurate fuel level readings may result. Correction: Dealers will affect repairs.
