Vacuum brake booster failure investigation # EA01013
Odi upgraded the preliminary evaluation to conduct a full technical analysis, including testing.The testing and analysis shows that a torn diaphragm is a slow progressive type of failure.The tear propagates in a slow methodical manner and braking performance is similar to an untorn unit until the tear exceeds 1/2 inch.Odis testing indicates that tears greater than 1/2 inch required increased pedal effort.However, as the length of the tear increased beyond 1/2 inch, a hissing sound could be heard emitting into the passenger compartment where the master cylinder plunger passed through the firewall. Odi has determined that a safety-related defect trend has not been identified at this time and further use of agency resources does not appear to be warranted.The closing of this investigation does not constitute a finding that no safety-related defect exists.The agency reserves the right to take further action in the future if warranted by the circumstances.Odis complete technical analysis with test data is attached.

The windshield wipers work sporadically. On 6/27 during a thunderstorm, the wipers suddenly ceased working and nearly caused an accident. From this site i discovered that there is a recall on this item for my make and model truck (recall number 03v159000). I contacted chevrolet and they informed me that the recall did not apply to my truck based on the vin number. Although the manifestation of the problem on my particular vehicle would indicate that the scope of the recall was too narrow, chevrolet refused to offer me cost assistance in getting this repaired. *jb
