THE ABS FAILED ON MY 1993 CHEVROLET PICKUP. WHEN I TOOK THE TRUCK IN TO GET REPAIR ESTIMATES I WAS ADVISED BY MECHANICS A RECALL IS PENDING FOR GM ABS SYSTEMS ON PICK UP TRUCKS FROM 1991 TO PRESENT. WHEN I CALLED THE CHEVROLET DEALER SERVICE DEPT, THEY COULD NOT PROVIDE ANY INFORMATION AS TO WHAT WILL BE PAID/FOR COVERED. I WOULD LIKE TO GET THE ABS REPAIRED. IT IS A LITTLE UNNERVING WHEN THE ABS SPORADICALLY DECIDES TO WORK OR FAIL. I HAVE SPENT OVER $300 TO HAVE THE BRAKES RE-DONE TO MAKE SURE I CAN STOP, BUT THE ABS KEEPS ACTING UP. ANY INFO ON THE STATUS AND SCOPE OF THE RECALL WOULD BE APPRECIATED.
