Service brakes, air:supply:compressorJul 29, 2009 · NHTSA campaign 09V309000 · 1,880 vehicles

Problem: Gm is recalling 1,880 model year 2007 chevrolet kodiak and t-series, gmc topkick and t-series, and isuzu f-series and h-series passenger vehicles equipped with 7.8l diesel engine. The air compressor in some of these vehicles may not build enough air pressure to support the air brake system. If this condition were to occur while the vehicles was stationary (brakes applied), the air brakes would remain applied and prevent the vehicle from moving.

Risk: If the driver ignores these warnings and continues to drive the vehicle, and if there was a continued loss of pressure, the rear spring parking brakes would automatically apply, preventing the truck from being driven.

Fix: Dealers will inspect the air compressor for its ability to build air pressure, and either modify the air compressor by elimination of the suppression valve or replace the air compressor assembly free of charge. The recall is expected to begin during august 2009. Owners may contact chevrolet at 1-800-630-2438, gmc at 1-866-996-9463, isuzu at 1-800-255-6727 or at www.gmownercenter.com.

Service brakes, air:supply:compressorMay 2, 2007 · NHTSA campaign 07V190000 · 1,896 vehicles

Problem: On certain medium duty conventional and tilt cab trucks equipped with 7.8l diesel engines and air brakes, the air compressor may not build enough air pressure to support the air brake system.

Risk: If this condition were to occur while the vehicle was stationary (brakes applied) the air brakes would remain applied and prevent the vehicle from moving. If this condition were to occur while the vehicle was in motion, the dual system air pressure gauges would register the drop in pressure. If the pressure continued to drop, the low air pressure warning buzzer and warning lamp would activate as designed, warning the driver to move the vehicle to a safety location. If the driver ignores these warnings and continues to drive the vehicle, and if there was a continued loss of pressure, the rear spring parking brakes would automatically apply, preventing the truck from being driven.

Fix: Dealers will replace the air compressor head. The recall began on may 23, 2007. Owners may contact chevrolet at 1-800-630-2438, gmc at 1-866-996-9463, or isuzu at 1-800-255-6727.

Fuel System, Gasoline · received Sep 26, 2011 · NHTSA complaint 10427167

Have noticed hesitation when xsmn shifting from 2nd to 3rd and also a knock. Once vehicle finally gets into high everything seems fine, but takes longer than normally expected to accelerate. Problem gets even worse when pulling a small trailer or boat. *tr
