Defect Summary:
SKF USA, Inc. (SKF) is recalling certain axle seals, part numbers 28554 and 28555, installed on 1999-2013 Chevrolet and GMC full size vans, pickup trucks, and SUV's with a full floating rear end. The inner diameter of the affected seals may be too large to adequately contain the differential gear oil, allowing it to leak onto the rear brakes. Consequence Summary:
Leaking gear oil can contaminate the brake friction material, reducing the vehicle's braking ability and increasing the risk of a crash. Corrective Summary:
SKF will notify owners. For vehicles that had seal 28554 installed, service centers will inspect each vehicle and replace any axle seal that is leaking. Vehicles that had axle seal 28555 installed will have their axle seals replaced. These services will be performed free of charge. The recall began during September 2014. Owners may contact SKF customer service at 1-800-644-8999. SKF's number for this recall is PRO14-004USCA. Recall Notes:
