Huge GM Recall

[FreeorDie2]

I haven't received a recall notification either, but I list my vehicles on http://autos.msn.com. A recall alert popped up on the Hummer the last time I logged on. Here is what it said:

<span class="ev_code_RED">Recall Alert: CHEVROLET AVALANCHE, CHEVROLET EXPRESS, CHEVROLET SILVERADO, CHEVROLET SUBURBAN, GMC SAVANA, GMC YUKON XL, HUMMER H2
Owner Notification Date: Mar 31, 2005
Number of Units Potentially Affected: 155465
Component Description: SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
NHTSA Campaign Number: 05V043000 </span>

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Description of Recall Campaign: CERTAIN TRUCKS, SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES, AND VANS EQUIPPED WITH BOSCH HYDRO-BOOST BRAKE ASSEMBLIES, THE HYDRAULIC BRAKE BOOSTER PRESSURE ACCUMULATOR MAY CRACK AND SEPARATE FROM THE HYDRO-BOOST ASSEMBLY DURING NORMAL OPERATING CONDITIONS.
IF A SEPARATION OCCURRED AND THE HOOD OF THE VEHICLE WERE OPEN, FRAGMENTS FROM THE ACCUMULATOR COULD CAUSE INJURY TO PEOPLE IN THE IMMEDIATE AREA. THE PRESENCE OF THIS CRACK OR FRACTURED SURFACE COULD ALLOW THE HYDRAULIC FLUID TO LEAK FROM THE ACCUMULATOR CIRCUIT OF THE BOOSTER ASSEMBLY. THE LOSS OF FLUID WOULD CAUSE INCREASED STEERING AND BRAKING EFFORT AND A CRASH MAY OCCUR WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING.

DEALERS WILL TEST THE HYDRO-BOOST ASSEMBLY FOR FUNCTIONAL OPERATION OF THE TWO-FUNCTION VALVE. IF THE HYDRO-BOOST ASSEMBLY FAILS THE TEST, DEALERS ARE TO REPLACE THE ASSEMBLY. THE RECALL BEGAN ON MARCH 31, 2005. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT CHEVROLET AT 1-800-630-2438, GMC TRUCKS AT 1-866-996-9463 AND HUMMER AT 1-800-732-5493.
