Recall 02V305000: Wheel Bearing Retaining Nut Missing

DEFECT: Some of these vans were built without a wheel bearing assembly retaining nut, which could lead to a possible bearing separation. If this were to occur, the ABS system would be disabled. The driver would also notice a grinding noise, a decrease in the vehicle speed, and the steering will pull in the direction of the affected brake assembly. This could result in a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.


REMEDY: Dealers will inspect the wheel bearing assembly. If the inspection reveals a missing retaining nut, the wheel bearing assembly will be replaced. The manufacturer has reported that owner notification began Nov. 13, 2002. Owners should contact Chevrolet at 1-800-222-1020 or GMC at 1-800-462-8782.
