| Defect Summary | Certain federal-mogul national and carquest aftermarket hub assemblies, p/n 515058, sold for use on 2001-2006 general motors 1500 and 2500 4wd trucks. on the subject hub assemblies, the abs sensor cord departs from the hub assembly at a 90 degree angle. as a result, there is a fit issue with the brake rotor dust shield interfering with the abs sensor cord. if the hub assembly is installed despite this interference, the gap between the abs sensor and the tone wheel may be altered. this may weaken the output of the abs sensor. diminished output could result in an unwanted abs activation at low speeds and stopping distance could be affected. | |||||||||||||||
| Consequence Summary | If stopping distance is limited, a vehicle crash could occur. | |||||||||||||||
| Corrective Summary | Federal-mogul will notify its owners and will either credit the customers account or replace the unit. the recall is expected to begin during june 2006. owners can contact federal-mogul customer service at 1-800-563-8507 ext 3530. | |||||||||||||||

| I purchased my pickup new in jan. 2007 and use it to tow an 8x16 trailer w/electric brakes for a part time business throughout the summer. the trailer weighs approx. 6000 lbs. loaded and the truck is rated for 8,000 lbs. approximate towing mileage is 3 to 4,000 miles per year. after towing the trailer 200 miles on sept. 14, 2012 my wife noticed several oil leaks on the asphalt nearby. i suspected something in the differential area and drove to the nearest gmc dealership several miles away. they diagnosed it as a rear brake line and ended up replacing 6' of it along with both rotors and calipers and a brake system flush for a total of $958.76. i'm 66 yrs. old and have never had a brake line go in any vehicle i've ever owned and i've lived in massachusetts all my life. my local mechanic just told me this week that the rest of the brake lines are badly corroded and should be replaced asap. this will add another $900 to the entire cost. there is no question in my mind that gm has allowed quality in workmanship on its brake lines to fall through the cracks...and at the public's expense. *tr | |||

| Brake line failure. low speed backing up brake pedal went to floor . brakefluid sprayed on exhaust, producing a lot of smoke.truck was cold, if running longer there could have been a fire. contacted gm in 2009 about brake line rust and they stated it was normal. truck had only 32000 miles at time of complaint. truck now has 58000 miles. | |||

| The abs activates when it isn't supposed to. backing out of my driveway the brake drops, grunts, and takes far too long to stop. also when turning this occurs. gmc had a recall for the exact same thing for the model years 1999-2002 starting in 2005. they say it's from normal wear and tear, but not one other truck or suv owner i've ever known has had a similar problem, with a different company. they even offered to pay for part of it, citing the recall accidentally. this is a very dangerous defect, and something needs to be done about it. we don't need to wait until somebody dies. earlier today while driving it took nearly 5 seconds to stop coming up to a railroad crossing. if i hadn't known about the defect, i may not have been able to stop. did i mention the vehicle has less than 30,000 miles in its 5 years of operation? companies shoudn't be allowed to wait 6 years to initiate recalls. they obviously know it's a problem. thanks. | |||
