Record by record
1 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.

Work done
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.

Brake Hydro-Boost Housing Relief Valve Bore Recall
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.
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)
- Look at the color of the relief valve: if it is metallic yellow or looks like brass, no further action is required.
- 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.
- With no paint marks and a stamped number 2, 3 or 4 visible, no further inspection or repair is required.
- If a stamped number 1 is visible on the machined surface, the relief valve must be replaced.
3Correction
Repair
- With the ignition OFF, pump the brake pedal at least ten times.
- Unscrew the original relief valve from the hydraulic brake booster with the tool supplied with the new relief valve.
- Insert the new relief valve into the bore and tighten it to 17 N·m (13 lb ft).
- With the master cylinder mounted flush to the booster, install the nuts and tighten them to 33 N·m (24 lb ft).
Parts
- Part number 10398682, VALVE KIT, P/B BOOS CONT, quantity 1 per vehicle if required.
Part numbers printed in the document
The numbers are as the document prints them. The name and the replacing number are what the pages of GMPartsGiant, a reseller of genuine parts and not GM, state. Aftermarket equivalents are not checked here (the links only search by number). Confirm the fit for the vehicle (VIN) before ordering.
Caution
- Take care when working around the accumulator, which contains high-pressure compressed gas and hydraulic fluid.
- Do not blow compressed air into the bore or flush the valve bore with commercially available cleaners; this could damage the booster or master cylinder.

From the manufacturer’s document
- Applies to:The recall covers certain 2003 and 2004 model year Cadillac Escalade, Escalade EXT and Escalade ESV; Chevrolet Silverado, Avalanche, Suburban and Express; GMC Sierra, Yukon, Yukon XL and Savana; HUMMER H2; and 2004 model year Chevrolet Tahoe vehicles built within the listed VIN breakpoints.
- Condition: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.
- Condition: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.
- Condition: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.

- Cause
- CERTAIN SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES, PICKUP TRUCKS, AND PASSENGER VANS FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 135, ?PASSENGER CAR BRAKE SYSTEMS.? SOME OF THESE VEHICLES WERE PRODUCED WITH AN OUT-OF-SPECIFICATION BRAKE HYDRO-BOOST HOUSING RELIEF VALVE BORE.
- Remedy
- DEALERS ARE TO REPLACE THE HYDRO-BOOST RELIEF VALVE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON JUNE 18, 2004. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT CADILLAC AT 1-866-982-2339; CHEVROLET AT 1-800-630-2438; GMC AT 1-866-996-9463; OR HUMMER AT 1-866-486-6376.
- Consequence
- CONSEQUENTLY, THE VALVE O-RING SEAL MAY FRACTURE. STEERING EFFORTS MAY BE SLIGHTLY INCREASED WHILE BRAKING OR PARKING. UNDER CERTAIN DRIVING CONDITIONS, A FRACTURED SEAL MAY REQUIRE A SLIGHT INCREASE IN THE APPLIED BRAKE PEDAL EFFORT TO ACHIEVE THE SAME VEHICLE DECELERATION RATE AS PRIOR TO THE SEAT FRACTURE.
