K 1500 Truck 4WD V8-5.3L VIN T (2000)
Brake Hose/Line: All Technical Service Bulletins
Recall 00V345000: Possible Brake Line Leak
Some of these vehicles have a clearance condition between the front right-hand brake pipe and the body cross sill that could decrease to the point of
allowing contact during the life of the vehicle. If contact occurs and the brake pipe becomes damaged, in half of the brake system there can be a loss of
brake fluid and pressure. The brake warning lamp will be activated when the brake fluid lever reaches the indicator limit.
During braking, the pedal will be lower than normal and stopping distances will be longer. If this occurs when stopping distance is limited, a crash could
occur.
Dealers will inspect the front right-hand brake pipe for wear. If there are signs of wear, this section of the brake pipe will be replaced with a new
designed brake pipe section. If there are not signs of wear on the brake pipe, the dealer will install a spacer flip to ensure sufficient clearance between the
brake pipe and the body cross sill.
Owner notification is expected to begin during December 2000. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date
and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact Chevrolet at 1-800-222-1020 or GMC at 1-800-462-8782. Also contact the
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's Auto Safety Hotline at 1-888-DASH-2-DOT (1-888-327-4236).
