THE BACK GLASS ON OUR 2004 GMC YUKON XL BROKE AT THE RIGHT HINGE AT FIRST. WE HARDLY EVER OPENED THE BACK GLASS, SO THAT SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN AN ISSUE. TODAY THE LEFT BACK GLASS HINGE BROKE. I HAVE SEARCHED FOR A RECALL ON THIS, HOWEVER THERE ISN'T ONE. GMC IS AWARE AND ACKNOWLEDGES THE PROBLEM BUT ISN'T WILLING TO REPAIR THE ISSUE. FOUND MANY FORUMS WHERE OTHER GMC & CHEVY OWNERS ARE FACING THE SAME PROBLEM. IT CAN BE FIXED FOR AROUND $1000.00 BUT SINCE IT IS APPARENTLY A DEFECT ON THEIR END.....WHY SHOULD WE HAVE TO PAY FOR IT? PLEASE HELP!!! *TR

CERTAIN TRUCKS, SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES, AND VANS EQUIPPED WITH BOSCH HYDRO-BOOST BRAKE ASSEMBLIES, THE HYDRAULIC BRAKE BOOSTER PRESSURE ACCUMULATOR MAY CRACK AND SEPARATE FROM THE HYDRO-BOOST ASSEMBLY DURING NORMAL OPERATING CONDITIONS.

Consequence & remedy

Consequence: IF A SEPARATION OCCURRED AND THE HOOD OF THE VEHICLE WERE OPEN, FRAGMENTS FROM THE ACCUMULATOR COULD CAUSE INJURY TO PEOPLE IN THE IMMEDIATE AREA. THE PRESENCE OF THIS CRACK OR FRACTURED SURFACE COULD ALLOW THE HYDRAULIC FLUID TO LEAK FROM THE ACCUMULATOR CIRCUIT OF THE BOOSTER ASSEMBLY. THE LOSS OF FLUID WOULD CAUSE INCREASED STEERING AND BRAKING EFFORT AND A CRASH MAY OCCUR WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING.

Remedy: DEALERS WILL TEST THE HYDRO-BOOST ASSEMBLY FOR FUNCTIONAL OPERATION OF THE TWO-FUNCTION VALVE. IF THE HYDRO-BOOST ASSEMBLY FAILS THE TEST, DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE ASSEMBLY FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON MARCH 23, 2005. OWNERS MAY CONTACT CHEVROLET AT 1-800-630-2438, GMC TRUCKS AT 1-866-996-9463 AND HUMMER AT 1-800-732-5493.

Consequence & remedy

Consequence: CONSEQUENTLY, THE VALVE O-RING SEAL MAY FRACTURE. STEERING EFFORTS MAY BE SLIGHTLY INCREASED WHILE BRAKING OR PARKING.
