The Associated Press (AP) said all of the affected vehicles are from the 2004 and 2005 model years and have Bosch hydro-boost brake assemblies – they are the Chevrolet Avalanche, Express, Silverado and Suburban; the GMC Savana, Sierra and Yukon XL; two commercial trucks, the GMC Topkick and Chevrolet Kodiak; and the Hummer H2.
NHTSA reportedly said a pressure accumulator in the braking system could crack during normal driving and fragments could injure people if the bonnet [hood] was open – the crack also could allow hydraulic fluid to leak, which could make it harder to brake or steer and could cause a crash.
GM spokesman Alan Adler told AP the company did not know of any injuries related to the problem.
