“Recall # 05v379000 was issued 8/29/2005 for the Gmc yukon Denali for ABS malfunction. Gmc says my VIN is not included yet I have the exact problem described. This is a dangerous problem and no web site specifies VIN number exclusion. The year and model are the only factors. Gmc should fix this problem.”
