On certain C1500 and G1 vehicles, either one or both front brake rotor hubs may have out of specification grey iron that could fatigue during the life of the vehicle resulting in stress cracks which could propagate around the wheel mounting bolt circle. This could in turn result in wheel separation and a vehicle crash without prior warning. Correction: Rotors will be inspected and replaced if necessary.
The wording above is the department's own, as it stood in the monthly file this site last read. Vehicle counts are the sum of the counts published for each make and model the recall covers. To act on a recall, use the official notice: Transport Canada recall 1998033.
