What NHTSA recorded

Certain vans were built without a wheel bearing assembly retaining nut, which could lead to a possible bearing separation.

Possible consequence

If this were to occur, the amber-colored abs tell-tale lamp in the instrument panel would illuminate and 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. Owner notification began november 13, 2002. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact chevrolet at 1-800-222-1020 or gmc at 1-800-462-8782.
