THIS BULLETIN CANCELS AND REPLACES BULLETIN 04004, ISSUED JUNE 2004. THE
INSPECTION PROCEDURE IN THIS BULLETIN HAS BEEN REVISED TO INCLUDE ADDITIONAL
STAMPED NUMBERS ON THE HYDRAULIC BRAKE BOOSTER. ALL COPIES OF BULLETIN 04004

<H5>Condition</A></H5>
General Motors has decided that certain 2003 and 2004 model year Cadillac
Escalade, Escalade EXT and Escalade ESV; Chevrolet Silverado, Avalanche,
Suburban, and Express; GMC Sierra, Yukon, Yukon XL, and Savana; HUMMER H2; and
2004 model year Chevrolet Tahoe vehicles fail to conform to either
Federal/Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 105, "Hydraulic and Electric Brake
System", or Standard 135, "Light Vehicle Brake Systems". These vehicles may have
a relief valve bore within the brake hydro-boost module that is not to
specification. An out-of-specification bore could result in fracture of the
relief valve o-ring seal within the module. If this happens, during brake
applications the driver may be able to hear an engine compartment noise similar
to the sound that occurs when the steering wheel is turned to a full stop
position. The driver could also experience a slight increase in steering efforts
while braking and parking. Under certain driving conditions, a fractured seal
may require a slight increase in the applied brake pedal effort to achieve the
same vehicle deceleration rate as prior to the seal fracture. If this were to
occur, it could result in a vehicle crash without prior warning.</P><A

<H5>Service Procedure</A></H5>
The following procedure provides instructions for inspecting, and if
necessary, replacing the hydraulic brake booster relief valve.</P>

href="http://127.0.0.1:9001/servlets/RetrieveTif?pic=1478889">
[img]Brake Hydro-Boost Relief Valve Seal Fracture_files/tif.gif[/img]</A>
<FONT color=brown>
<H4>Important</H4>
You may notice that there is a blue epoxy-type material in the center of
the relief valve described in the next step. This material will be found in
both the original and replacement relief valves.</P></FONT>
</P>
<LI type=1>Locate the relieve valve (2) on the hydraulic brake booster. The
valve located in the front of the brake booster directly behind the master
cylinder reservoir (1).
<UL type=BULLET>
<LI>If the color of the relief valve is metallic yellow or has a brass
appearance, then no further action is required.
<LI>If the color of the relief valve is silver or aluminum, continue to the
next step. </LI>
<FONT color=brown>
<H4>Important</H4>
If present, the stamped number being described in the next step would be on
the mounting surface for the master cylinder on the hydraulic brake booster.
The number may be difficult to see if there is any corrosion on the unpainted
surface. As a result, it may be necessary to clean the surface with a piece of
emery or sandpaper.</P></FONT>
</P>
<LI type=1>Inspect the hydraulic brake booster at the location shown (4) for a
stamped number. The location (4) is the same surface that the master cylinder
mounts on, just above the outboard bolt and nut (5). Also inspect for a paint
mark (3) near the master cylinder outboard mounting bolt (5).
<UL type=BULLET>
<LI>If a yellow, pink, or white paint mark IS visible, no further inspection
or repairs are required. Disregard any stamped number found when a yellow,
pink, or white paint mark is visible.
<LI>If there are NO paint marks and there IS a stamped number 1 visible,
then proceed to the next step.
<LI>If there are NO paint marks and there IS a stamped number OTHER THAN "1"
(i.e. 0, 2, 3, 4, 5, etc.) visible, no further inspection or repairs are
required.
<LI>If there are NO paint marks and there are NO stamped numbers visible,
then proceed to the next step. </LI>[/list]
<FONT color=red>
<H4>Caution</H4>
Care should be taken when working around the accumulator since it contains
high-pressure compressed gas and hydraulic fluid.</P></FONT>
</P>
<LI type=1>With the ignition in the OFF position, pump the brake pedal a
minimum of ten times.
<LI type=1>On van models, remove the two bolts that attach the diagonal brace
between the left front fender and radiator support. Remove the brace and the
water deflector that is attached to it.
<LI type=1>On all models, remove the two nuts that attach the master cylinder
to the hydraulic brake booster. A 13mm wrench installed on the bolt head
may be required to prevent the bolt from spinning.
<FONT color=blue>
<H4>Notice</H4>
When repositioning the master cylinder in the next step, use care not to
pinch, kink or damage the brake hoses or pipes.</P></FONT>
</P>
<FONT color=brown>
<H4>Important</H4>
On fullsize pickups and utilities, the bracket that attaches the brake
combination valve will need to be removed from the mounting bolts at the same
time that the master cylinder is removed and repositioned in the next
step.</P></FONT>
</P>
<LI type=1>Remove and reposition the master cylinder away from the hydraulic
brake booster so that the machined surface on the front of the booster where
the master cylinder was mounted is visible.

<LI type=1>Inspect the machined surface that was covered by the master
cylinder on the front of the hydraulic brake booster at the location (1) shown
for a stamped number.
<UL type=BULLET>
<LI>If a stamped number 1 is visible, then the relief valve must be
replaced. Proceed to the next step.
<LI>If a stamped number OTHER THAN "1" (i.e. 0, 2, 3, 4, 5, etc.) is
visible, then no further action is required. Proceed to Step 14 and
reinstall the master cylinder.
<LI>If no stamped number is visible, then no further action is required.
Proceed to Step 14 and reinstall the master cylinder. </LI>[/list] <LI type=1>Cover the master cylinder with a clean shop towel in order to
protect it from fluids or cleaners. Also, place a shop towel under the
hydraulic brake booster to absorb any fluid that may leak out of the unit when
the relief valve is removed in the next step.

<LI type=1>Using the tool (2) included with the new relief valve, unscrew the
original relief valve (1) from the hydraulic brake booster.
<FONT color=blue>
<H4>Notice</H4>
DO NOT blow compressed air into the bore or use any commercially available
cleaners to flush the valve bore in the next step. This could damage the

<H5>Courtesy Transportation</A></H5>
The General Motors Courtesy Transportation program is intended to minimize
customer inconvenience when a vehicle requires a repair that is covered by the
New Vehicle Limited Warranty. The availability of courtesy transportation to
customers whose vehicles are within the warranty coverage period and involved in
a product recall is very important in maintaining customer satisfaction. Dealers
are to ensure that these customers understand that shuttle service or some other
form of courtesy transportation is available and will be provided at no charge.
Dealers should refer to the General Motors Service Policies and Procedures

<H5>Dealer Recall Responsibility - FOR US AND IPC (US States, Territories, and
Possessions)</A></H5>
The US National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act provides that each
vehicle that is subject to a recall of this type must be adequately repaired
within a reasonable time after the customer has tendered it for repair. A
failure to repair within sixty days after tender of a vehicle is prima facie
evidence of failure to repair within a reasonable time. If the condition is not
adequately repaired within a reasonable time, the customer may be entitled to an
identical or reasonably equivalent vehicle at no charge or to a refund of the
purchase price less a reasonable allowance for depreciation. To avoid having
these burdensome remedies, every effort must be made to promptly schedule an
appointment with each customer and to repair their vehicle as soon as possible.
In the recall notification letters, customers are told how to contact the US
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration if the recall is not completed
within a reasonable time.</P>
This bulletin is notice to you that the new motor vehicles included in
this recall may not comply with the standard identified above. Under Title 49,
Section 30112 of the United States Code, it is illegal for a dealer to sell a
new motor vehicle which the dealer knows does not comply with an applicable
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard. As a consequence, if you sell any of
these motor vehicles without first performing the recall correction, your
dealership may be subject to a civil penalty for each such sale. </P><A

<H5>Dealer Recall Responsibility - ALL</A></H5>
All unsold new vehicles in dealers' possession and subject to this recall
MUST be held and inspected/repaired per the service procedure of this recall
bulletin BEFORE customers take possession of these vehicles.</P>
Dealers are to service all vehicles subject to this recall at no charge to
customers, regardless of mileage, age of vehicle, or ownership, from this time
forward.</P>
Customers who have recently purchased vehicles sold from your vehicle
inventory, and for which there is no customer information indicated on the
dealer listing, are to be contacted by the dealer. Arrangements are to be made
to make the required correction according to the instructions contained in this
bulletin. This could be done by mailing to such customers a copy of the customer
letter accompanying this bulletin. Recall follow-up cards should not be used for
this purpose, since the customer may not as yet have received the notification
letter.</P>
In summary, whenever a vehicle subject to this recall enters your vehicle
inventory, or is in your dealership for service in the future, please take the
steps necessary to be sure the recall correction has been made before selling or
releasing the vehicle.</P>June 2004
Dear General Motors Customer:</P>
This notice is sent to you in accordance with the requirements of the
National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act. Federal regulation requires that
any vehicle lessor receiving this recall notice must forward a copy of this
notice to the lessee within ten days.</P><A name=ss12-1528250><A

<H5>Reason For This Recall</A></H5>
General Motors has decided that certain 2003 and 2004 model year Cadillac
Escalade, Escalade EXT and Escalade ESV; Chevrolet Silverado, Avalanche,
Suburban, and Express; GMC Sierra, Yukon, Yukon XL, and Savana; HUMMER H2; and
2004 model year Chevrolet Tahoe vehicles fail to conform to either
Federal/Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 105, "Hydraulic and Electric Brake
System", or Standard 135, "Light Vehicle Brake Systems". These vehicles may have
a relief valve bore within the brake hydro-boost module that is not to
specification. An out-of-specification bore could result in fracture of the
relief valve o-ring seal within the module. If this happens, during brake
applications the driver may be able to hear an engine compartment noise similar
to the sound that occurs when the steering wheel is turned to a full stop
position. The driver could also experience a slight increase in steering efforts
while braking and parking. Under certain driving conditions, a fractured seal
may require a slight increase in the applied brake pedal effort to achieve the
same vehicle deceleration rate as prior to the seal fracture. If this were to
occur, it could result in a vehicle crash without prior warning.</P><A

<H5>Contacting Your Dealer</A></H5>
To limit any possible inconvenience, we recommend that you contact your GM

<H5>Service Procedure</A></H5>
The following procedure provides instructions for inspecting, and if
necessary, replacing the hydraulic brake booster relief valve.</P>

[img]Brake Hydro-Boost Relief Valve Seal Fracture_files/tif.gif[/img]</A>
<FONT color=brown>
<H4>Important</H4>
You may notice that there is a blue epoxy-type material in the center of
the relief valve described in the next step. This material will be found in
both the original and replacement relief valves.</P></FONT>
</P>
<LI type=1>Locate the relieve valve (2) on the hydraulic brake booster. The
valve located in the front of the brake booster directly behind the master
cylinder reservoir (1).
<UL type=BULLET>
<LI>If the color of the relief valve is metallic yellow or has a brass
appearance, then no further action is required.
<LI>If the color of the relief valve is silver or aluminum, continue to the
next step. </LI>
<FONT color=brown>
<H4>Important</H4>
If present, the stamped number being described in the next step would be on
the mounting surface for the master cylinder on the hydraulic brake booster.
The number may be difficult to see if there is any corrosion on the unpainted
surface. As a result, it may be necessary to clean the surface with a piece of
emery or sandpaper.</P></FONT>
</P>
<LI type=1>Inspect the hydraulic brake booster at the location shown (4) for a
stamped number. The location (4) is the same surface that the master cylinder
mounts on, just above the outboard bolt and nut (5). Also inspect for a paint
mark (3) near the master cylinder outboard mounting bolt (5).
<UL type=BULLET>
<LI>If a yellow, pink, or white paint mark IS visible, no further inspection
or repairs are required. Disregard any stamped number found when a yellow,
pink, or white paint mark is visible.
<LI>If there are NO paint marks and there IS a stamped number 1 visible,
then proceed to the next step.
<LI>If there are NO paint marks and there IS a stamped number OTHER THAN "1"
(i.e. 0, 2, 3, 4, 5, etc.) visible, no further inspection or repairs are
required.
<LI>If there are NO paint marks and there are NO stamped numbers visible,
then proceed to the next step. </LI>[/list]
<FONT color=red>
<H4>Caution</H4>
Care should be taken when working around the accumulator since it contains
high-pressure compressed gas and hydraulic fluid.</P></FONT>
</P>
<LI type=1>With the ignition in the OFF position, pump the brake pedal a
minimum of ten times.
<LI type=1>On van models, remove the two bolts that attach the diagonal brace
between the left front fender and radiator support. Remove the brace and the
water deflector that is attached to it.
<LI type=1>On all models, remove the two nuts that attach the master cylinder
to the hydraulic brake booster. A 13mm wrench installed on the bolt head
may be required to prevent the bolt from spinning.
<FONT color=blue>
<H4>Notice</H4>
When repositioning the master cylinder in the next step, use care not to
pinch, kink or damage the brake hoses or pipes.</P></FONT>
</P>
<FONT color=brown>
<H4>Important</H4>
On fullsize pickups and utilities, the bracket that attaches the brake
combination valve will need to be removed from the mounting bolts at the same
time that the master cylinder is removed and repositioned in the next
step.</P></FONT>
</P>
<LI type=1>Remove and reposition the master cylinder away from the hydraulic
brake booster so that the machined surface on the front of the booster where
the master cylinder was mounted is visible.

[img]Brake Hydro-Boost Relief Valve Seal Fracture_files/tif.gif[/img]</A>
<LI type=1>Inspect the machined surface that was covered by the master
cylinder on the front of the hydraulic brake booster at the location (1) shown
for a stamped number.
<UL type=BULLET>
<LI>If a stamped number 1 is visible, then the relief valve must be
replaced. Proceed to the next step.
<LI>If a stamped number OTHER THAN "1" (i.e. 0, 2, 3, 4, 5, etc.) is
visible, then no further action is required. Proceed to Step 14 and
reinstall the master cylinder.
<LI>If no stamped number is visible, then no further action is required.
Proceed to Step 14 and reinstall the master cylinder. </LI>[/list] <LI type=1>Cover the master cylinder with a clean shop towel in order to
protect it from fluids or cleaners. Also, place a shop towel under the
hydraulic brake booster to absorb any fluid that may leak out of the unit when
the relief valve is removed in the next step.

<LI type=1>Using the tool (2) included with the new relief valve, unscrew the
original relief valve (1) from the hydraulic brake booster.
<FONT color=blue>
<H4>Notice</H4>
DO NOT blow compressed air into the bore or use any commercially available
cleaners to flush the valve bore in the next step. This could damage the
booster or master cylinder.</P></FONT>
</P>
<LI type=1>Inspect the two O-rings on the original valve for signs of damage.
If an O-ring is missing, broken or damaged, inspect the bore in the hydraulic
brake booster for any pieces or debris using a non-metallic type tool or a
clean "lint-free" towel.
<FONT color=brown>
<H4>Important</H4>
A torque wrench must be used when tightening the valve in the next step. In
addition, a 3/8 inch drive to 1/4 inch drive adapter will be needed if your
torque wrench is a 3/8 inch drive.</P></FONT>
</P>
<FONT color=brown>
<H4>Important</H4>
After tightening the NEW relief valve in the next step, a small gap may
exist between the head on the valve and the hydraulic brake booster. This
condition is normal.</P></FONT>
</P>
<LI type=1>Insert the NEW relief valve into the bore. Tighten
Tighten to 17N·m (13lbft).</P>
<LI type=1>Using a clean shop towel, clean up any fluid that may have leaked
out of they hydraulic brake booster when removing the original valve.
<LI type=1>Position the master cylinder (and brake combination valve mounting
bracket on full size pickups and utilities) on the mounting bolts on the
hydraulic brake booster.
<LI type=1>With the master cylinder mounted flush to the booster, install the
nuts. Tighten
Tighten the nuts to 33N·m (24lbft).</P>
<LI type=1>On van models, install the diagonal brace with the water deflector
attached to it between the left fender and the radiator. Install the two
bolts. Tighten
Tighten the bolts to 25N·m (18lbft).</P>
<LI type=1>Start the engine and verify the hydraulic brake booster operation.
<LI type=1>Turn the engine OFF and check the power steering fluid reservoir.
Add fluid if necessary.
<LI type=1>Close the hood. </LI>[/list]<A name=ss6-1528250><A

identical or reasonably equivalent vehicle at no charge or to a refund of the
purchase price less a reasonable allowance for depreciation. To avoid having
these burdensome remedies, every effort must be made to promptly schedule an
appointment with each customer and to repair their vehicle as soon as possible.
In the recall notification letters, customers are told how to contact the US
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration if the recall is not completed
within a reasonable time.</P>
This bulletin is notice to you that the new motor vehicles included in
this recall may not comply with the standard identified above. Under Title 49,
Section 30112 of the United States Code, it is illegal for a dealer to sell a
new motor vehicle which the dealer knows does not comply with an applicable
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard. As a consequence, if you sell any of
these motor vehicles without first performing the recall correction, your
dealership may be subject to a civil penalty for each such sale. </P><A

<H5>Dealer Recall Responsibility - ALL</A></H5>
All unsold new vehicles in dealers' possession and subject to this recall
MUST be held and inspected/repaired per the service procedure of this recall
bulletin BEFORE customers take possession of these vehicles.</P>
Dealers are to service all vehicles subject to this recall at no charge to
customers, regardless of mileage, age of vehicle, or ownership, from this time
forward.</P>
Customers who have recently purchased vehicles sold from your vehicle
inventory, and for which there is no customer information indicated on the
dealer listing, are to be contacted by the dealer. Arrangements are to be made
to make the required correction according to the instructions contained in this
bulletin. This could be done by mailing to such customers a copy of the customer
letter accompanying this bulletin. Recall follow-up cards should not be used for
this purpose, since the customer may not as yet have received the notification
letter.</P>
In summary, whenever a vehicle subject to this recall enters your vehicle
inventory, or is in your dealership for service in the future, please take the
steps necessary to be sure the recall correction has been made before selling or
releasing the vehicle.</P>June 2004
Dear General Motors Customer:</P>
This notice is sent to you in accordance with the requirements of the
National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act. Federal regulation requires that
any vehicle lessor receiving this recall notice must forward a copy of this
notice to the lessee within ten days.</P><A name=ss12-1528250><A

<H5>Reason For This Recall</A></H5>
General Motors has decided that certain 2003 and 2004 model year Cadillac
Escalade, Escalade EXT and Escalade ESV; Chevrolet Silverado, Avalanche,
Suburban, and Express; GMC Sierra, Yukon, Yukon XL, and Savana; HUMMER H2; and
2004 model year Chevrolet Tahoe vehicles fail to conform to either
Federal/Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 105, "Hydraulic and Electric Brake
System", or Standard 135, "Light Vehicle Brake Systems". These vehicles may have
a relief valve bore within the brake hydro-boost module that is not to
specification. An out-of-specification bore could result in fracture of the
relief valve o-ring seal within the module. If this happens, during brake
applications the driver may be able to hear an engine compartment noise similar
to the sound that occurs when the steering wheel is turned to a full stop
position. The driver could also experience a slight increase in steering efforts
while braking and parking. Under certain driving conditions, a fractured seal
may require a slight increase in the applied brake pedal effort to achieve the
same vehicle deceleration rate as prior to the seal fracture. If this were to
occur, it could result in a vehicle crash without prior warning.</P><A

<H5>What Will Be Done</A></H5>
Your GM dealer will inspect the hydro-boost module, and replace the relief

<H5>How Long Will The Repair Take?</A></H5>
This inspection and correction, if necessary, will take approximately 20 to
25 minutes. However, due to scheduling requirements, your dealer may need your
vehicle for a longer period of time.</P><A name=ss15-1528250><A

<H5>Contacting Your Dealer</A></H5>
To limit any possible inconvenience, we recommend that you contact your GM
dealer as soon as possible to schedule an appointment for this repair. By
scheduling an appointment, your dealer can ensure that the necessary parts will
be available on your scheduled appointment date. Should your dealer be unable to

<H5>Service Procedure</A></H5>
The following procedure provides instructions for inspecting, and if
necessary, replacing the hydraulic brake booster relief valve.</P>

[img]Brake Hydro-Boost Relief Valve Seal Fracture_files/tif.gif[/img]</A>
<FONT color=brown>
<H4>Important</H4>
You may notice that there is a blue epoxy-type material in the center of
the relief valve described in the next step. This material will be found in
both the original and replacement relief valves.</P></FONT>
</P>
<LI type=1>Locate the relieve valve (2) on the hydraulic brake booster. The
valve located in the front of the brake booster directly behind the master
cylinder reservoir (1).
<UL type=BULLET>
<LI>If the color of the relief valve is metallic yellow or has a brass
appearance, then no further action is required.
<LI>If the color of the relief valve is silver or aluminum, continue to the
next step. </LI>
<FONT color=brown>
<H4>Important</H4>
If present, the stamped number being described in the next step would be on
the mounting surface for the master cylinder on the hydraulic brake booster.
The number may be difficult to see if there is any corrosion on the unpainted
surface. As a result, it may be necessary to clean the surface with a piece of
emery or sandpaper.</P></FONT>
</P>
<LI type=1>Inspect the hydraulic brake booster at the location shown (4) for a
stamped number. The location (4) is the same surface that the master cylinder
mounts on, just above the outboard bolt and nut (5). Also inspect for a paint
mark (3) near the master cylinder outboard mounting bolt (5).
<UL type=BULLET>
<LI>If a yellow, pink, or white paint mark IS visible, no further inspection
or repairs are required. Disregard any stamped number found when a yellow,
pink, or white paint mark is visible.
<LI>If there are NO paint marks and there IS a stamped number 1 visible,
then proceed to the next step.
<LI>If there are NO paint marks and there IS a stamped number OTHER THAN "1"
(i.e. 0, 2, 3, 4, 5, etc.) visible, no further inspection or repairs are
required.
<LI>If there are NO paint marks and there are NO stamped numbers visible,
then proceed to the next step. </LI>[/list]
<FONT color=red>
<H4>Caution</H4>
Care should be taken when working around the accumulator since it contains
high-pressure compressed gas and hydraulic fluid.</P></FONT>
</P>
<LI type=1>With the ignition in the OFF position, pump the brake pedal a
minimum of ten times.
<LI type=1>On van models, remove the two bolts that attach the diagonal brace
between the left front fender and radiator support. Remove the brace and the
water deflector that is attached to it.
<LI type=1>On all models, remove the two nuts that attach the master cylinder
to the hydraulic brake booster. A 13mm wrench installed on the bolt head
may be required to prevent the bolt from spinning.
<FONT color=blue>
<H4>Notice</H4>
When repositioning the master cylinder in the next step, use care not to
pinch, kink or damage the brake hoses or pipes.</P></FONT>
</P>
<FONT color=brown>
<H4>Important</H4>
On fullsize pickups and utilities, the bracket that attaches the brake
combination valve will need to be removed from the mounting bolts at the same
time that the master cylinder is removed and repositioned in the next
step.</P></FONT>
</P>
<LI type=1>Remove and reposition the master cylinder away from the hydraulic
brake booster so that the machined surface on the front of the booster where
the master cylinder was mounted is visible.

[img]Brake Hydro-Boost Relief Valve Seal Fracture_files/tif.gif[/img]</A>
<LI type=1>Inspect the machined surface that was covered by the master
cylinder on the front of the hydraulic brake booster at the location (1) shown
for a stamped number.
<UL type=BULLET>
<LI>If a stamped number 1 is visible, then the relief valve must be
replaced. Proceed to the next step.
<LI>If a stamped number OTHER THAN "1" (i.e. 0, 2, 3, 4, 5, etc.) is
visible, then no further action is required. Proceed to Step 14 and
reinstall the master cylinder.
<LI>If no stamped number is visible, then no further action is required.
Proceed to Step 14 and reinstall the master cylinder. </LI>[/list] <LI type=1>Cover the master cylinder with a clean shop towel in order to
protect it from fluids or cleaners. Also, place a shop towel under the
hydraulic brake booster to absorb any fluid that may leak out of the unit when
the relief valve is removed in the next step.

<LI type=1>Using the tool (2) included with the new relief valve, unscrew the
original relief valve (1) from the hydraulic brake booster.
<FONT color=blue>
<H4>Notice</H4>
DO NOT blow compressed air into the bore or use any commercially available
cleaners to flush the valve bore in the next step. This could damage the
booster or master cylinder.</P></FONT>
</P>
<LI type=1>Inspect the two O-rings on the original valve for signs of damage.
If an O-ring is missing, broken or damaged, inspect the bore in the hydraulic
brake booster for any pieces or debris using a non-metallic type tool or a
clean "lint-free" towel.
<FONT color=brown>
<H4>Important</H4>
A torque wrench must be used when tightening the valve in the next step. In
addition, a 3/8 inch drive to 1/4 inch drive adapter will be needed if your
torque wrench is a 3/8 inch drive.</P></FONT>
</P>
<FONT color=brown>
<H4>Important</H4>
After tightening the NEW relief valve in the next step, a small gap may
exist between the head on the valve and the hydraulic brake booster. This
condition is normal.</P></FONT>
</P>
<LI type=1>Insert the NEW relief valve into the bore. Tighten

<H5>Dealer Recall Responsibility - FOR US AND IPC (US States, Territories, and
Possessions)</A></H5>
The US National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act provides that each
vehicle that is subject to a recall of this type must be adequately repaired
within a reasonable time after the customer has tendered it for repair. A
failure to repair within sixty days after tender of a vehicle is prima facie
evidence of failure to repair within a reasonable time. If the condition is not
adequately repaired within a reasonable time, the customer may be entitled to an
identical or reasonably equivalent vehicle at no charge or to a refund of the
purchase price less a reasonable allowance for depreciation. To avoid having
these burdensome remedies, every effort must be made to promptly schedule an
appointment with each customer and to repair their vehicle as soon as possible.
In the recall notification letters, customers are told how to contact the US
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration if the recall is not completed
within a reasonable time.</P>
This bulletin is notice to you that the new motor vehicles included in
this recall may not comply with the standard identified above. Under Title 49,
Section 30112 of the United States Code, it is illegal for a dealer to sell a
new motor vehicle which the dealer knows does not comply with an applicable
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard. As a consequence, if you sell any of
these motor vehicles without first performing the recall correction, your
dealership may be subject to a civil penalty for each such sale. </P><A

<H5>Dealer Recall Responsibility - ALL</A></H5>
All unsold new vehicles in dealers' possession and subject to this recall
MUST be held and inspected/repaired per the service procedure of this recall
bulletin BEFORE customers take possession of these vehicles.</P>
Dealers are to service all vehicles subject to this recall at no charge to
customers, regardless of mileage, age of vehicle, or ownership, from this time
forward.</P>
Customers who have recently purchased vehicles sold from your vehicle
inventory, and for which there is no customer information indicated on the
dealer listing, are to be contacted by the dealer. Arrangements are to be made
to make the required correction according to the instructions contained in this
bulletin. This could be done by mailing to such customers a copy of the customer
letter accompanying this bulletin. Recall follow-up cards should not be used for
this purpose, since the customer may not as yet have received the notification
letter.</P>
In summary, whenever a vehicle subject to this recall enters your vehicle
inventory, or is in your dealership for service in the future, please take the
steps necessary to be sure the recall correction has been made before selling or
releasing the vehicle.</P>June 2004
Dear General Motors Customer:</P>
This notice is sent to you in accordance with the requirements of the
National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act. Federal regulation requires that
any vehicle lessor receiving this recall notice must forward a copy of this
notice to the lessee within ten days.</P><A name=ss12-1528250><A

<H5>Reason For This Recall</A></H5>
General Motors has decided that certain 2003 and 2004 model year Cadillac
Escalade, Escalade EXT and Escalade ESV; Chevrolet Silverado, Avalanche,
Suburban, and Express; GMC Sierra, Yukon, Yukon XL, and Savana; HUMMER H2; and
2004 model year Chevrolet Tahoe vehicles fail to conform to either
Federal/Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 105, "Hydraulic and Electric Brake
System", or Standard 135, "Light Vehicle Brake Systems". These vehicles may have
a relief valve bore within the brake hydro-boost module that is not to
specification. An out-of-specification bore could result in fracture of the
relief valve o-ring seal within the module. If this happens, during brake
applications the driver may be able to hear an engine compartment noise similar
to the sound that occurs when the steering wheel is turned to a full stop
position. The driver could also experience a slight increase in steering efforts
while braking and parking. Under certain driving conditions, a fractured seal
may require a slight increase in the applied brake pedal effort to achieve the
same vehicle deceleration rate as prior to the seal fracture. If this were to
occur, it could result in a vehicle crash without prior warning.</P><A

<TD align=left width=778><FONT size=1>GM bulletins are intended for use by
professional technicians, NOT a "do-it-yourselfer". They are written
to inform these technicians of conditions that may occur on some vehicles,
or to provide information that could assist in the proper service of a
vehicle. Properly trained technicians have the equipment, tools,
safety instructions, and know-how to do a job properly and safely.
If a condition is described, DO NOT assume that the bulletin applies to
your vehicle, or that your vehicle will have that condition. See
your GM dealer for information on whether your vehicle may benefit from
the information.

I have been experiencing this problem and was looking to fix it. Never had my H2 to the dealer and never will. It is just a hassle for me.
I certainly did not by my H2 expecting GM to fix much, if anything.
Can you post the pics or email to me?
The pics are blank with an X...
