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:Warning lightReduced brakingCorrosion or rustMisfire or rough idleNoiseLoss of engine power, no accelerationStalls or shuts off

Record by record

7 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.

Component named as the cause

How it is said to have ended

  • result not stated1

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 issuesBrake pipe (brake line) corrosion and rupture1

  1. Owner complaint2003 GMC YUKON ・ 2016-08-23

    Total brake failure when braking at intersection; ABS light on

    1. 1Fault

    2. 2Finding the cause

    3. 3Correction

      IN ORDER TO IMPROVE VEHICLE SAFETY THE LINES WILL ALL BE REPLACED WITH STAINLESS STEEL SO THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN AGAIN.

      What the documents say to do

      Brake pipe (brake line) corrosion and rupture

      Confirm

      • In the joint inspections, scaling or flaking corrosion was taken as indicating the onset of metal loss and given the second lowest ranking (2); a leaking or previously repaired pipe was the lowest (1).

      Repair

      1. GM recommends replacing the entire set of pipes whenever any pipe leaks or is corroded enough to need replacement.
      2. On June 28, 2013 GM released 66 new part numbers for servicing brake pipes in 1999-2007 GMT800 pickups and utility vehicles.

      Caution

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

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

  1. Recall2003 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.
