  Covers: GMC Yukon 1998, Chevrolet Suburban 1998, Tahoe 1998 +12 more

  Reported issue: Vehicle description: light duty pickup trucks and multi-purpose passenger vehicles. One or both front brake rotor/hubs were built with an out-of-specification gray iron that can fail during the life of the vehicle.

  Possible consequence: If a driver continues to drive with a cracked rotor, the cracks could continue around the wheel mounting bolt circle and ultimately result in a wheel separation.

  Remedy: Dealers will inspect the rotors for a core date of "287" and, if found, replace the rotor.

• 97V142000Aug 29, 19973,957 vehicles potentially affected
  Steering › Gear box (other than rack and pinion)
  Covers: GMC Yukon 1998, Chevrolet Tahoe 1998

  Reported issue: Vehicle description: light duty extended-cab pickup trucks and 4-door utility trucks. The lower steering shaft to steering gear pinch bolt is "finger loose" or missing allowing the bolt to loosen and fall out. The steering shaft yoke can wear causing an off center steering wheel.

  Possible consequence: Relative movement between the chassis and cab can cause the steering shaft to separate from the steering gear. This condition can result in a loss of steering control increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.

  Remedy: Dealers are arranging to have the vehicles involved towed to the dealership and alternate transportation is being arranged for owners. Dealers will then inspect the vehicle for the presence of a pinch bolt and torque this bolt to proper specifications.
