Recall 1993120

The issue

On certain K1500, Astro, Safari and Suburban vehicles, corrosion of the composite front brake rotors could cause separation of the stamped steel centre section from the cast outer rotor resulting in complete loss of braking capability for the affected wheel and a partial loss of front braking. This would increase stopping distances and could result in a crash without prior warning. Correction: Dealers will replace both front brake rotors with rotors having a corrosion protective coating.

Description (français)

Sur certains K1500, Astro, Safari et Suburban, le pourtour en fonte du disque composite des freins avant de ces véhicules peut se séparer de la partie centrale en acier estampé si le disque est rouillé, entraînant une perte totale de la puissance de freinage de la roue en cause et une perte partielle de la puissance de freinage du train avant. Une telle défaillance ferait augmenter les distances de freinage et il pourrait s'ensuivre un accident imprévisible. CORRECTION: Les concessionnaires devront installer sur les freins avant des disques enduits d'un revêtement anti-rouille.
