General Motors Corporation recalls 155,000 Model Year 2005 Sierra's.

General Motors Corporation announced on 2/4/2005 that it was recalling approximately 155,465 new 2005 Sierra's due to reports that some trucks, SUV's and Vans in the Sierra line are equipped with Bosch hydro-boost brake assemblies and that the hydraulic brake booster pressure accumulator on those models may crack and separate from the hydro-boost assembly during normal operating conditions.

If a separation occurred and the hood of the vehicle was open, fragments from the accumulator could cause injury to people in the immediate area. The presence of this crack or fractured surface could allow the hydraulic fluid to leak from the accumulator circuit of the booster assembly. The loss of fluid would cause increased steering and braking effort and a crash may occur without prior warning

Dealers will test the hydro-boost assembly for functional operation of the two-function valve. If the hydro-boost assembly fails the test, dealers are to replace the assembly. The recall is expected to begin during March 2005.
