| 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 am the shop foreman for a construction company in alaska. i dropped off a 2006 gmc 2500 pickup last week to the dealer to have a leak looked at. i got a call back from them saying my torque converter was blown. they said gmc is having problems with the allison transmission at cold temps (campaign # 07293) i had this truck in at 25000 miles to be re-programmed and again at 49000 miles. now, at 58,000 miles the torque converter is blown and after arguing with gmc, they will not warranty the work, they want me to pay half of the 3200. i drove up in out company's brand new '08 gmc 3500, had the dealers mechanic look at it. he sniffed the tranny dipstick, grimmanced, and said that it too was blown. at 4120 miles, another blown torque converter. the service manager said 17 trucks so far in fairbanks alaska have suffered similar fates, due to this manufacturer error. i am livid, to say the least! gmc needs to be held accountable for this, and owners need to be contacted and told that there is a problem! there is a safety angle as well, according to the mechanic--at a stop light, the torque converter went out, locked up, and pushed the vehicle through the light! *tr | |||

| We took our 28 ft camper to be repaired which consisted of driving on interstate an at a high rate of speed but doing the speed limit. on our way home we were no longer hauling the camper because it had been left behind for repair. i thank god for this because i would hate to think what would have happened if we were hauling the camper on the interstate and the brake line would have broken then. when we were almost home i felt something was wrong with the brakes. i had to press them all the way to the floor to get my vehicle to stop. i was close to a advanced auto so i drove very slowly and stayed far from vehicles so that i could make it there for them look to see if i was low on fluid. but when i turned into their parking lot immediately after i put on the brakes to park it the brake line broke. i had to have my vehicle towed to a local dealership where i had to have repairs done. not only the brake lines were changed but the calipers also. the bill was just under 5 thousand dollars. i called gmc all they did was call the dealership to make sure everything was done. which was no help to me. i could have taken care of that myself. i believe this is a great injustice to gmc owners that they know of a situation and would let us use these vehicles to haul our children on camping trips putting their safety in danger. i will not purchase another gmc vehicle. also my extended warranty ended a few weeks before. although i was told they would not have covered it . i also bring my vehicle for oil changes as required to the dealership which they do check other things as a routine. i cannot understand why these auto repairmen didn't catch this . there is no reason this should have happened to this vehicle. .. when your brakes go out you looking at a major danger to yourself and others. *tr | |||
