  1. NHTSA campaign 01V044009

    Reported

    Steering › Linkages › Tie Rod Assembly

    Model years 1999–2000

    Vehicle description: heavy duty trucks and school bus chassis equipped with tie rod assemblies containing 24-DL model ball sockets and manufactured by TRW. Certain of the tie rod ball-socket bearings have a below-specification case depth and/or hardness, which can lead to premature wear of the socket.

    Consequence:
    If this condition occurs, the driver can lose partial control of the right front wheel, possibly resulting in a crash.
    Remedy:
    Dealers will replace the defective ball sockets and/or drag links. Owner notification began April 24, 2001. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact Chevrolet at 1-800-222-1020 or GMC at 1-800-462-8782.

    Model years 1999–2000

    Vehicle description: medium duty trucks equipped with axle assemblies which may have been manufactured with TRW model 20EDL ball sockets. The tie rod ball-socket bearings have a below specification case depth and/or hardness which can lead to premature wear out of the socket in some applications.

    Consequence:
    If this condition occurs, the driver can lose steering control, possibly resulting in a vehicle crash.
    Remedy:
    Dealers will replace the ball socket assemblies. Owner notification began April 24, 2001.

  3. NHTSA campaign 00V232008

    Reported

    Service Brakes, Air › Antilock

    Model years 1998–2001

    Vehicle description: school buses, medium duty trucks and tractors built with bendix air ABS with an EC-17 1030R electronic control unit (ECU), there have been reports of unwanted ABS activation at low speeds caused by 1) chafed ABS wheel speed sensor wires on rotating parts or 2) a damaged component at the wheel end that generates a certain type of erratic sensor signal.

    Consequence:
    This condition could cause the ABS ECU to exhaust the air at the air brake modulators for one or more of the wheels. This could result in extended braking distances and a possible crash.
    Remedy:
    Dealers will replace the ABS ECU.

How to read this recall list

This list shows every safety recall campaign NHTSA has on file for this make, model and model year. It is not specific to one vehicle: a recall often covers only vehicles built in a certain date range or with a certain part, and many of the vehicles it covers will already have been repaired.

What each recall field means
What each recall field means
FieldWhat it tells you
Campaign numberNHTSA's unique ID for the recall, such as 20V771000. Quote it to a dealer or when searching NHTSA's site.
ComponentThe system or part involved, for example air bags, brakes or electrical software.
SummaryWhat the defect or non-compliance is and which vehicles are covered.
ConsequenceThe safety risk if the problem isn't fixed.
RemedyWhat the manufacturer will do, such as a repair, replacement or software update, and whether it is free.
  • Some recalls carry an NHTSA consumer advisory, “Do Not Drive” or “Park Outside”. Follow it until the repair is done.
  • A single campaign often covers several models or model years, so the same campaign number can appear in more than one list.
  • Recalls are shown as NHTSA publishes them. Very recent campaigns may take time to appear.
