Faulty Anti-lock Brakes On ‘99 - ’02 GM Trucks And SUVs
The government is investigating more than 1.2 million General Motors Corp. pickup trucks and sport utility vehicles for faulty anti-lock brakes. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has attributed nearly two dozen crashes due to the faulty braking system.
The NHTSA said that a build up of corrosion increases the distance required to stop when the brakes are applied. In some cases, the build up of corrosion led to unwanted activation of the brake system.
The investigation involves GM trucks and SUV’s from the 1999-2002 model years. The vehicles include: GMC Tahoe, GMC Yukon Denali, GMC Yukon XL, GMC Yukon XL Denali, Chevrolet Avalanche, Chevrolet Silverado, Chevrolet Suburban, Cadillac Escalade and Cadillac EXT.
