NOTE:
This recall applies only to the above vehicles equipped with a Four-Wheel Antilock Brake System (sales code BGK or BRT) built from September
12, 2005 through December 11, 2005 (MDH 091221 through 121114).
IMPORTANT:
Many of the vehicles within the above build period have already been inspected or repaired and, therefore, have been excluded from this recall.
IMPORTANT:
Some of the involved vehicles may be in dealer new vehicle inventory. Federal law requires you to complete this recall service on these vehicles
before retail delivery. Dealers should also consider this requirement to apply to used vehicle inventory and should perform this recall on vehicles in
for service. Involved vehicles can be determined by using the VIP inquiry process.
Subject
The Antilock Brake System (ABS) control module on about 37,900 of the above vehicles may cause the rear brakes to lock up during certain braking
conditions. This could result in a loss of vehicle control and cause a crash without warning.
Repair
The ABS control module must be replaced and initialized with the StarSCAN tool.
