Certain fabtech aftermarket replacement pitman arms, p/nos. Fts71000 and fts71001, installed for use on certain 2001-2006 gm c/k 2500 pick up trucks and sport utility vehicles. the pin located inside the pitman arm can shear off due to a reverse bending fatigue condition, resulting in a total loss of steering control.
Loss of steering control could lead to a vehicle crash with potential injury or death.
Fabtech will notify owners and replace the pitman and idler arms free of charge. the recall IS expected to begin during february 2006. owners may contact fabtech at 909-597-7800.
Certain trucks and sport utility vehicles fail to conform to the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 110, "tire selection and rims." these vehicles were shipped with tire and loading information labels listing an inacccurate vehicle capacity weight.
A misprinted label could lead to improper vehicle loading specifications or tire inflation which could result in a tire failure, increasing the risk of a crash.
Owners will be provided with corrected labels and installation instructions. at the customer's option, a dealer can install the label for them. the recall began on march 31, 2006. owners may contact buick at 1-866-608-8080, cadillac at 1-866-982-2339, chevrolet at 1-800-630-2438, GMC at 1-866-996-9463, hummer at 1-800-732-5493, pontiac at 1-800-620-7668, saturn at 1-800-972-8876, or isuzu at 1-800-255-6727.
Certain passenger vehicles may have been built with a power steering hose that IS not to specification. under extreme steering maneuvers, such as turning the steering wheel fully to the left or right while braking, the hose may fracture and leak fluid.
If this were to occur, power steering assist would be lost and increased steering effort would be required. on vehicles equipped with hydro-boost power brakes, it could also result in loss of power brake assist and increased braking effort would be required. if the power steering fluid spray were to spray onto hot engine parts, an engine compartment fire could occur.
Dealers will inspect the power steering hose(s) for two suspect date codes and replace them if required. the recall will begin on october 14, 2005. owners may contact chevrolet at 1-800-630-2438, GMC at 1-866-996-9463, buick at 1-866-608-8080, cadillac at 1-866-982-2339, isuzu at 1-800-255-6727, or hummer at 1-800-732-5493.

The other day I took a ride in my truck and upon driving approximately two blocks from my home the steering control of the car totally failed. Imagine driving your car and at some point, you lose the capability of controlling your cars direction while holding your steering wheel. one can only imagine if I was going 65 miles an hour and driving on a highway then losing the ability to turn your wheels. I am blessed this malfunction happened when I was only traveling 10 miles an hour. after calling a tow truck and having my car towed to a local repair shop, it was determined the control arm bolt had broken off therefore losing total control of the cars steering capability. This IS unheard of and something like this should never happen at all during normal use. with all of this I continue to think about how lucky I was to survive a mechanical problem of this sort and how I could have fatally injured someone else with this defected control arm of this vehicle. so, I decided to make a call to gm and report this issue and to advise the company of a problematic issue with the design or engineering of the hummers control arm steering component the company representative acknowledged my complaint and recorded my description of the events and the issues of the cars steering system. I reiterated my concerns about the issues and how not addressing this in some sort of a recall may result in deaths. I am attaching pictures of the part which the bolt had broken so you may consider a recall of the vehicle's control arm. I guess people need to get hurt before your company acts and takes this seriously. copy to browser https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10219081735095616&set=pcb.10219081750456000&type=3&__tn__=hh-r&eid=arbbiwleqebkoinfzrahtjt9y10vzur38f7wzeiwrinijl6kfvt5hc8_wo8pcpfcdelskfkiuerthou3 please be aware of potential hazard. *tr

Steering IS very sloppy and vague at higher speeds. there IS too much non active movement to correct direction. I have to move the steering wheel at least 6 inches constantly to even keep the truck straight. I hear gm has weak pitman arms etc.. also the steering judders and vibrates and sometimes it gets stuck and goes when colder usually. sometimes brakes are strong, sometimes they are wooden and lack grip almost resulting in an accident. I keep much distance to the other cars so I did not crash. but I get a scared sensation when controls don't work correctly. *Tr
I purchased a 2006 hummer H2 at cerritos hummer. I currently have almost 55,000 miles. today I was parking my car and noticed the steering was extremely hard to turn. also the brakes were really weak. I used all the energy I had to get into a gas station driveway. I drove about 1 block because I needed gas where I noticed oil dropping under the car. I checked under the hood and the oil was coming out near the power steering pump. I opened the power steering reservoir and saw that there was very little oil because it had dropped under my car. my steering IS too hard to turn and the brakes are almost non existent pulling into the gas station. I called cerritos hummer and talked to their service manager and he said I was past warranty. I told him that there was a recall on this exact problem, but he said no and got very loud and mean to me. I told him he did not have to get mean because he can only do what the computers and protocol suggests, but he did not do enough research prior to rejecting any recalls. he said I would have to tow my car there and they would have to inspect and the charges could be high depending on the problem. I said there was a recall but he rejected it again in a strong tone. I did not want to argue in case they have to repair my car. I think that this problem IS a serious health issue because a weak person would not have the strength to pull into the parking lot as I did. I pulled various muscles in my arms and shoulders steering the car into the gas station. I do not have another car and I don't think I can pay the cost to have my car towed approximately 25 miles to cerritos hummer. they said they would not pay any tow charges nor inspection costs nor costs to repair the problem. I spend way too much money at their dealership to be treated this way. I am usually an easy going guy, but the treatment he gave me really angered me. my back arms and shoulders hurt because the steering was so hard. *tr
The air filter covers on my H2 get hot and start deforming "ripples" in the plastic. The plastic molding between them where the wipers go through deforming also. I have replaced 4 air filter covers in under 6,000 miles. And 1 wiper molding. I am not sure of the consequences. Hummer says it's no problem. I have 1 of the air filter covers that has failed in my possession. According to gm/hummer there IS no problem. They will just keep replacing them. *Tr

NHTSA’s Office of Defects Investigation opened these reviews into vehicles including this one.
In a letter dated august 27, 2008, general motors corp. (Gm) notified nhtsa that it will conduct a safety recall (nhtsa recall number 08v-441) to address a safety relateddefect that can result in engine compartment fire in approximately 850,000 vehicles equipped with a heated windshield washer fluid option.the subject vehicles of this investigation comprise over three-quarters of the recall population. According to gm, a short circuit on the printed circuit board for the windshield washer fluid heater module may overheat the control-circuit ground wire. This may cause other electrical features to malfunction, create an odor or cause smoke and in rare cases it may cause a fire.as a remedy, gm dealers will install a wire harness with an in-line fuse. In addition to the subject vehicles, several other gm models with the heated windshield washer fluid option are included in recall 08v-441: my 2006-2008 buick lucerne (manufactured august 2005 through november 2007); my 2008 buick enclave (manufactured february 2007 through april 2007); my 2006-2008 cadillac DTS (manufactured may 2007 through november 2007); my 2007-2008 saturn outlook (manufactured august 2006 through april 2007); and my 2007-2008 GMC acadia (manufactured august 2006 through april 2007) vehicles.gm IS instructing owners to take their vehicle to a dealer for service if they experience symptoms of windshield washer heater module short circuits. Gm's recall resolves the safety defect concerns pursued by this investigation.this engineering analysis IS closed.
Odi upgraded this investigation at the conclusion of pe04-080.the alleged defect involves the failure of the steering knuckle at the lower ball joint boss, resulting in a separation of the lower ball joint from the knuckle.a lower ball joint separation could result in a loss of steering and/or a disabled vehicle. It appears that the fractures of H2 steering knuckles can be attributed to wheel/tire collision forces being transferred directly to the steering knuckle.the original knuckle design appears to be sufficient for the H2 application.evidence from inspected vehicles, photographs, police reports and edr data indicates collision impact events placed stress on the steering knuckle causing it to fracture.further use of agency resources does not appear to be warranted.the closing of this investigation does not constitute a finding by nhtsa that no safety-related defect exists with regard to the subject component.the agency reserves the right to take further action on this issue if warranted.
