GM Recalling 193,000 Cars for Safety Defects
Thursday, February 10, 2005
DETROIT — General Motors Corp. (GM) is recalling more than 193,000 vehicles on the U.S. market to fix a variety of safety defects, federal safety regulators said Thursday.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said the recalls included one covering 155,465 pickup trucks, sport utility vehicles and vans that may suffer hydraulic fluid leaks, causing increased steering and braking effort and potential crashes.
Models affected, all from the 2004-2005 model years, include the Avalanche, Express, Kodiak, Silverado and Suburban from GM's Chevrolet division. GMC's Savana, Sierra, Topkick, Yukon XL and the Hummer H2 were also affected, NHTSA said.
Separately, the agency said 19,924 Cadillac SRX and Cadillac XLRs, along with Pontiac Grand Prix models from the 2004 model year, were being recalled because of potential problems with their accelerator pedals.
Lastly, NHTSA said GM was recalling 17,815 Buick Rainier, Chevrolet TrailBlazer, GMC Envoy and Isuzu Ascender SUVs from the 2005 model year because their windshields may not have been mounted properly.
"If a crash occurs, the windshield may not be retained, increasing the risk of injury to a vehicle occupant," NHTSA said.
GM, the world's largest automaker, recalled more than 10 million vehicles in 2004, in a year that saw a record number of recalls across the industry.

Called my dealer today and I am going in on Saturday with my 2005 Lux. I wonder why they did not use stainless steel lines to begin with?

This is the problem with my '03 and GM tolled me "it was my problem because it was out of warranty", they won't even cover the cost for the dealer to look at my truck.

Is it possible to have this on an '03 as well ?
I had the misfortune of not being able to stop fast enough the last week and met a pickup truck in a bad way. If this can happen in the '03 as well, maybe I can get them to wave the surcharge that'll be coming
