STEP 11.2 IN THE SERVICE PROCEDURE FOR THE 2500/3500 SERIES VEHICLES HAS BEEN REVISED. DISCARD ALL COPIES OF
BULLETIN 05042A ISSUED JANUARY 2006.
Condition
General Motors has decided that a detect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in certain 1999-2002 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra 1500
Series, and 2001-2005 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra 2500/3500 Series vehicles equipped with a manual transmission. Some of these vehicles
may have a contact condition between the parking brake shoes and parking brake drums when the parking brake is not applied. If this were to occur, the
driver may or may not hear an intermittent scraping noise from the rear of the vehicle while driving. This condition could cause parking brake lining
wear. If this lining wear is undetected, the parking brake may become ineffective in immobilizing a parked vehicle on a grade. An ineffective parking
brake may result in a vehicle crash.
Correction
1500 Series - Dealers are to inspect the parking brake lining thickness on both rear brakes, and depending on the amount of lining remaining, install
either a reduced-force parking brake retainer spring clip on both rear brakes or parking brake shoe kits, which includes the reduced-force clips.
2500-3500 Series - Dealers are to inspect the parking brake lining thickness on both rear brakes and install a new rear right-hand parking brake cable
assembly. Also, depending on the amount of lining remaining, install new parking brake shoes (both rear brakes).
