FaultCrate・GMC Yukon 2000–2006・Parking brake
Candidate cause (the documents say what to do)
Parking brake linings worn out prematurely, parking brake does not hold (PBR single-shoe drum-in-hat)
Applies to: 1500 only
ODI is aware of over 600 complaints of premature parking brake wear-out in all MY 1999-2002 C/K 1500 trucks, regardless of transmission type; most involved vehicles with 20,000-60,000 miles (= 32,187–96,561 km), or 15-41 months in service.
Most complaints (over 90%) concerned a worn out or inoperative parking brake system, usually discovered during a service visit or mandatory state safety inspection.
What to do
- On complaint vehicles examined in the field, wear occurred earlier and to a greater extent on the driver's side parking brake unit and was largely localized at the tip of one of the linings.
- Bulletin 01-05-26-001 "Park Brake - Low Effort Apply System Description" (Mar 2001) describes a park brake test procedure.
- A revised clip designed to exert less force on the shoe went into MY 2003 production and into the service part stream. Installing the newer clip and replacing worn linings has been shown to remedy the defect.
- The closing report lists a bulletin of Aug 2004 as 02-05-26-001B "Brakes - Parking Brake Shoe Retainer Clip Availability", announcing a new retainer clip service kit for DIH-equipped vehicles.
- In the recall, dealers install a low-force spring clip retainer on vehicles with the PBR parking brake system and a redesigned parking brake cable assembly on vehicles with the TRW parking brake system.
- That bulletin releases a rear parking brake retaining spring clip kit for service: two parking brake hold down spring clips and bolts.
Caution: The vehicles warn the operator with a chime if driven over 3 mph (= 4.83 km/h) with the parking brake engaged.
What is needed
- Parts and materials
- Revised clip (designed to exert less force on the shoe)
- Parking brake shoe kit
- Rear parking brake retaining spring clip kit (when the clips need replacing but the parking brake shoes do not)
- Parking brake retainer spring clip kit 88982879 (for C/K, M/L and G models)
