General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2018 Cadillac Escalade, Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and Tahoe, GMC Sierra 1500 and Yukon vehicles equipped with either a 5.3L or 6.2L V8 engine. The output of the mechanical vacuum pump can decrease over time, decreasing the amount of vacuum/power brake assist.
A decrease in brake assist can increase the brake pedal effort and distance required to stop the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2015-2020 Chevrolet Suburban, Tahoe, and GMC Yukon, and 2014-2018 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500 vehicles equipped with a 5.3-liter engine, a 3.08-ratio rear axle and four-wheel drive. If a wheel-speed sensor fails, while the vehicle is traveling between 41 and 60 mph in four-wheel or automatic mode, the Electronic-Brake Control Module (EBCM) software may activate the driveline-protection system.
Unintended activation of the driveline-protection system will cause unintended braking on the wheel on the opposite side of the failed sensor, causing the vehicle to pull to one side unexpectedly, increasing the risk of a crash.

As the vacuum level drops, the brake assist decreases, increasing braking effort, extending the distance required to stop the vehicle, thereby increasing the risk of a crash.
I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK BRAND NEW FROM THE DEALER, I HAVE 70 MILES ON IT, THE TRUCK SHAKES AT 75-85 MPH, DEALER SAYS IT OK. I PAID 40K FOR THIS AND ITS NOT OK WITH ME.
CONSTANT VIBRATION/SHAKE COMING FROM THE VEHICLE AT ANY SPEED ABOVE 65 MPH. THE TRUCK HAS BEEN LIKE THIS SINCE THE DAY IT LEFT THE DEALERSHIP. WHEN ON HIGHWAY AND VIBRATION IS FELT, PUTTING THE TRUCK IN NEUTRAL DOES NOT CHANGE THE VIBRATION, SLOWING DOWN MAKES IT SLIGHTLY WORSE, SPEEDING IT MAKES IT SLIGHTLY BETTER. FEELS LIKE THERE IS SOMETHING SERIOUSLY WRONG WITH THE GEOMETRY OF THE TRUCK MAKING IT UNSAFE TO DRIVE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. ROAD FORCE BALANCE WAS ALREADY DONE AND THE PROBLEM PERSISTS ON A BRAND NEW TRUCK.
VEHICLE DEVELOPED A VIBRATION AT 80MPH WHICH FADES IN AND OUT. TIRES WERE ROAD FORCED BALANCED, AND ALIGNMENT WAS DONE. TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS CHANGED. THE SHACKING AT 80MPH CONTINUED. ON A 30 MILE COMMUTE AT 80MPH THE VIBRATION IS EXTREME 25% OF THE TIME (LIKE DRIVING OVER A RUMBLE STRIP), MODERATE ANOTHER 25% OF THE TIME, AND THE OTHER 50% THE VIBRATION IS NOT NOTICEABLE.
TRUCK STATIONARY. STARTED ENGINE. IMMEDIATELY MESSAGE SHOWED UP ON DASHBOARD INDICATING STEERING ASSIST LOW, DRIVE CAREFULLY. NO POWER STEERING. TRACTION CONTROL WARNING LIT. SHIFTED INTO REVERSE; TRUCK WOULD NOT MOVE AS IF IN NEUTRAL. TRUCK MOVE MOVE FORWARD IN DRIVE. SHUT OFF ENGINE AND RESTARTED TWICE. NO CHANGE. DID NOT ATTEMPT TO DRIVE.
