IN MARCH 2020, I NOTICED THAT AT LOW SPEEDS AND MAINLY WHEN BACKING, THE BRAKES BEGAN TO LOSE PRESSURE AND WHAT SOUNDED LIKE AND FELT LIKE THE ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM WAS ENGAGING, AND VERY HARD PRESSURE WAS NEEDED TO STOP THE TRUCK WITH LONGER THAN EXPECTED BRAKING OCCURRING. THE PROBLEM HAS DEFINITELY WORSENED AND OCCURS NEARLY EVERY TIME BRAKING AT LOW SPEEDS IN REVERSE WITH ANY TYPE OF INCLINE. WHILE BACKING MY BOAT INTO A DRIVEWAY, THIS ISSUE OCCURRED AND NEARLY SENT THE BOAT INTO THE GARAGE DOOR. I HAD TO APPLY AS MUCH PRESSURE AS I POSSIBLY COULD TO THE BRAKES TO STOP THE TRUCK AND BOAT BEFORE HITTING THE GARAGE DOOR. THE ISSUE HAS OCCURRED REPEATEDLY AS I HAVE BACKED UP ON AN INCLINE, WITH OR WITHOUT A TRAILER OR BOAT ATTACHED TO MY TRUCK.

AS A FEW MONTHS MORE PAST, I DID NOT RECOGNIZE THE PROBLEM MUCH AS WE HAVE QUARANTINED DURING THE COVID-19 CRISIS AND HAVE NOT DRIVEN MUCH. HOWEVER, SINCE LATE MAY, THE PROBLEM HAS DEFINITELY WORSENED AND OCCURS NEARLY EVERY TIME BRAKING AT LOW SPEEDS BOTH MOVING FORWARD AND REVERSE. I HAVE NOW SEEN THE WARNING TO SERVICE THE BRAKE ASSIST MESSAGE APPEAR ON MY DASH. ON MAY 28TH, 2020, WHILE BACKING OUR BOAT INTO STORAGE, THIS ISSUE OCCURRED AND NEARLY SENT THE BOAT INTO THE STORAGE ENTRY SIDE WALL AS THERE IS A SLIGHT HILL JUST IN FRONT OF OUR STORAGE. I HAD TO APPLY AS MUCH PRESSURE AS I POSSIBLY COULD TO THE BRAKES TO STOP THE TRUCK AND BOAT BEFORE HITTING THE ENTRY SIDE WALL. THE ISSUE OCCURRED REPEATEDLY AS I HAD TO MANEUVER THE BOAT BACK AND FORTH MUCH DIFFERENTLY TO ACCOUNT FOR THE BRAKING ISSUE. I NOTIFIED MY LOCAL CHEVROLET SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND WAS TOLD A NEW VACUUM BRAKE PUMP WOULD NEED TO BE INSTALLED AND WOULD BE AT CHEVROLET'S EXPENSE. *TR

19V761000 · Electronic Stability Control (esc); Service Brakes; Service Brakes, Hydraulic:antilock/traction Control/electronic Limited Slip:wheel Speed Sensor/tone Ring

Oct 24, 2019

General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2015-2020 Chevrolet Suburban, Tahoe, and GMC Yukon, and 2014-2018 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500 vehicles equipped with a 5.3-liter engine, a 3.08-ratio rear axle and four-wheel drive. If a wheel-speed sensor fails, while the vehicle is traveling between 41 and 60 mph in four-wheel or automatic mode, the Electronic-Brake Control Module (EBCM) software may activate the driveline-protection system.

Consequence & remedy

Consequence: Unintended activation of the driveline-protection system will cause unintended braking on the wheel on the opposite side of the failed sensor, causing the vehicle to pull to one side unexpectedly, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy: GM will notify owners, and dealers will reprogram the EBCM, free of charge. The recall began December 11, 2019. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-630-2438 or GMC customer service at 1-800-462-8782. GM's number for this recall is N192261050.

General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2015-2017 Cadillac Escalade, 2014-2018 Chevrolet Silverado, GMC Sierra, 2015-2018 Chevrolet Suburban, Tahoe, GMC Yukon vehicles. The amount of vacuum created by the vacuum pump may decrease over time.

Consequence & remedy

Consequence: As the vacuum level drops, the brake assist decreases, increasing braking effort, extending the distance required to stop the vehicle, thereby increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy: GM will notify owners, and dealers will reprogram the Electronic Brake Control Module, free of charge. The recall began October 8, 2019. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-630-2438, Cadillac customer service at 1-800-458-8006 or GMC customer service at 1-800-462-8782. GM's number for this recall is N192268490.

As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 225, "Child Restraint Anchorage Systems."

Consequence & remedy

Consequence: If the instructions are missing from the owner's manual, the child seat may be installed incorrectly and not be properly secured, increasing the risk of injury in a crash.

Remedy: GM will notify owners, and dealers will provide a corrected insert for the owners manual, free of charge. The recall began on September 25, 2017. Owners may contact GM customer service at 1-800-222-1020 (Chevrolet), or 1-800-462-8782 (GMC). GM's number for this recall is 17307.

While being previously remedied for recall 16V-651, the affected vehicles may not have received the complete software update necessary to remedy the recall condition. Without the update, certain driving conditions may cause the air bag sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) software to activate a diagnostic test. During this test, deployment of the frontal air bags and the seat belt pretensioners would not occur in the event of a crash.

Consequence & remedy

Consequence: A failure of the front air bags or seat belt pretensioners to deploy in the event of a crash necessitating deployment increases the risk of injury to the driver and front passenger.

Remedy: GM will notify owners, and dealers will reflash the SDM software. Vehicles that have had a previous air bag deployment will have the SDM replaced. These repairs will be performed free of charge. The recall began on August 4, 2017. Owners may contact Buick customer service at 1-800-521-7300, Cadillac customer service at 1-800-458-8006, Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020, or GMC customer service at 1-800-462-8782.

In the affected vehicles, certain driving conditions may cause the air bag sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) software to activate a diagnostic test. During this test, deployment of the frontal air bags and the seat belt pretensioners would not occur in the event of a crash.

Consequence: A failure of the front air bags or seat belt pretensioners to deploy in the event of a crash necessitating deployment increases the risk of injury to the driver and front passenger.

Remedy: GM will notify owners, and dealers will reflash the SDM software. Vehicles that have had a previous air bag deployment will have the SDM replaced. These repairs will be performed free of charge. The recall began on October 13, 2016. Owners may contact Buick customer service at 1-800-521-7300, Cadillac customer service at 1-800-458-8006, Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020, or GMC customer service at 1-800-462-8782. GM's number for this recall is 16007.
