NHTSA complaint #10023398, filed 2003-06, 161,650 miles“I do not receive any re-calls and recently saw where there is one now for tail gates. I replaced one on my own. Also, I went to stop and there were no brakes. After taking it to the garage, it was a hub. Was there a recall on this also that I did not receive? I have a 1999 Silverado z71 and only have a little over 50k miles on it. Please inform me if there have been re-calls that I am not aware of. We could have all been killed from this hub incident.”
