2000 Chevrolet C/K Pickups & 2000 Chevrolet Silverado + 4 more recall: powertrain & transmission
⚠️ What's wrong
Some pickup trucks, vans, and sport utility vehicles equipped with a hydraulic pump driveshaft that CAN fracture, resulting in immediate loss of hydraulic power steering assist. On certain vehicles equipped with hydro-boost power brakes, the same condition CAN result in loss of power assist for braking after the reserve pressure is depleted.
💥 The risk
An inoperative pump CAN cause increased steering effort, and in hydro-boost equipped vehicles also increased braking effort, but does not completely eliminate the ability to steer or slow the vehicle.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will replace the hydraulic pump. The campaign began on february 14, 2005. Owners may contact chevrolet at 1-800-630-2438 or GMC at 1-866-996-9463.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
