GM recalls 155,465 pickups, vans and SUVs for brake problem

Associated Press

DETROIT -- General Motors Corp. is recalling 155,465 pickups and sport utility vehicles -- including the Hummer H2 -- because of possible brake malfunctions, the automaker and federal safety regulators said Thursday.

All of the affected vehicles are from the 2004 and 2005 model years and have Bosch hydro-boost brake assemblies. They are the Chevrolet Avalanche, Express, Silverado and Suburban; the GMC Savana, Sierra and Yukon XL; two commercial trucks, the GMC Topkick and Chevrolet Kodiak; and the Hummer H2, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

NHTSA said a pressure accumulator in the braking system could crack during normal driving and fragments could injure people if the hood was open. The crack also could allow hydraulic fluid to leak, which could make it harder to brake or steer and could cause a crash.

GM spokesman Alan Adler said the company did not know of any injuries related to the problem.

GM is expected to begin notifying consumers about the recall next month. Dealers will replace affected brake systems for free, NHTSA said.

Mine was built in early May 04 so I went to check and I guess I'll be getting a notice.
With My jackrabbit start and stops I hope they get to me soon. I'll break something soon if they do not.

Does anybody find that wording funny? Who drives with their hood open?

GM will send them out,but if your worried that your hood
will expload.Please see you dealer he should have the J tool
to test it.
(i didn't say expload did i"
Reword : Break instead of expload.
