On the 2000-2002 GMC Yukon, gMC Yukons from 2000 through 2002 are part of NHTSA recall 05V379000, which addresses unwanted antilock brake system activation. Corrosion is the driving factor: GM stated the condition is more likely in environmentally corrosive areas and limited the recall launch to twenty salt-belt states plus the District of Columbia (Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Maryland, Massachusetts, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, West Virginia and Wisconsin). For a Yukon driver the practical danger is at low speed — the ABS intervening when it shouldn't lengthens stopping distances during low-speed brake applications, which NHTSA notes could result in a crash. The recall covers a mix of GM pickups and SUVs; 1,353,718 vehicles were affected campaign-wide, not on the Yukon alone. Owner notification began September 22, 2005.

Common Symptoms

  • Antilock brakes cycling or activating when they are not needed
  • Increased stopping distance when braking at low speed

How to Fix

Dealers perform the fix at no cost. The procedure: remove the wheel speed sensor, thoroughly clean the sensor's mounting surface on the bearing, apply rust inhibitor to the cleaned surface, grease it, reinstall the sensor, then verify the peak-to-peak output voltage so the wheel speed signal reads within specification. If you have a 2000-2002 Yukon, check the VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see if this campaign is still outstanding. GMC's recall line for this campaign is 1-866-996-9463.

On the 2000-2006 GMC Yukon, a hallmark GMT800 complaint: a clunk or knock felt in the steering wheel and column when turning at low speed or driving over small bumps and rough pavement. The intermediate steering shaft (I-shaft) splines wear and lose lubrication, so the shaft binds and then releases with an audible/tactile pop. It is a comfort/annoyance issue rather than a loss-of-control safety defect, but it is extremely common and frequently returns after temporary fixes.

This issue also affects: Chevrolet Express, Chevrolet Silverado 1500, Chevrolet Suburban

Common Symptoms

  • Clunk/knock felt in the steering wheel over bumps
  • Popping when turning at low speed
  • Notchy feel in the steering column
  • Noise worse on rough roads with steering input

How to Fix

Temporary fix: lubricate the I-shaft with the GM Steering Column Intermediate Shaft Lubrication Kit (P/N 26098419). Permanent fix: replace the intermediate steering shaft with the updated non-serviceable unit (P/N 19153614) - note the newer design cannot and should not be greased. Confirm the clunk is the I-shaft (not the steering gear or a worn U-joint) before replacing.

Typical repair cost:$30 - $400
