NHTSA recall 99V170000
Service Brakes, Hydraulic · General Motors, LLC
Details
What's wrong: Some of these vehicles with the key in the "on" position, exhibit a condition in which the antilock brake system (ABS) motor shorts to its case and grounds through a flexible brake fluid pipe.
Why it matters: This short can cause extreme heating of the flexible brake pipe where it can melt a nearby flexible plastic fuel hose, which could result in an underhood fire.
The fix: Dealers will install a ground cable from the electronic brake control module (ebcm) to the engine compartment body rail.
