SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
I ALREADY FILLED OUT A VEHICLE OWNER'S QUESTIONNAIRE TO SEND THROUGH THE MAIL WITH MY SIGNATURE TO AUTHORIZE NHTSA TO PROVIDE A COPY OF THE REPORT TO THE MANUFACTURER. REFERENCE NO. 8008990. I INCLUDED A COPY OF A RECALL NOTICE ON THE 2000 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE RECALL STATES: LIGHT DUTY PICKUP TRUCKS EQUIPPED WITH 4-WHEEL DISC BRAKES. SOME OF THESE VEHICLES HAVE AN ABS MOTOR CONTAINING AN OUT-OF-SPECIFICATION SPRING CLIP. THIS CLIP COULD ALLOW THE MOTOR BEARING TO BECOME MISALIGNED. IF MISALIGNMENT OCCURS, EVENTUALLY THE ABS WOULD BE NON-FUNCTIONAL. THE BASE BRAKES WOULD REMAIN FUNCTIONAL, BUT THE DYNAMIC REAR PROPORTIONING SYSTEM (DRP), WHICH OPTIMIZES FRONT TO REAR BRAKE BALANCE, WOULD BECOME INOPERATIVE. THIS IS THE SAME MALFUNCTION MY 1999 SILVERADO 1500 HAS. THE ABS SYSTEMS ARE IDENTICLE IN THE 1999 AND 2000 SILVERADO. THE REPLACEMENT PART NUMBER IS THE SAME FOR A 1999 AND A 2000. I DON'T BELIEVE THIS IS A COINCIDENCE, THAT THIS PART HAS FAILED IN MY 1999, WHEN IN FACT THIS IS THE SAME PART IN THE 2000'S THAT WERE RECALLED.*AK
