1. 14E046000Received 24 Jul 2014. 82,509 units.

   Power Train / Axle Assembly / Axle Shaft / Seal

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   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, in the NHTSA record

   Leaking gear oil can contaminate the brake friction material, reducing the vehicle's braking ability and increasing the risk of a crash.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   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.

2. 08E064000Received 20 Oct 2008. 2,805 units.

   Suspension / Front / Hub

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   Skf is recalling 2,805 hub units, part no. Br930361, sold as a service part for 1997-2004 dodge dakota vehicles and 1999-2003 dodge durango vehicles equipped with 2-wheel drive & rear axle ABS. Due to a specification error, the rotor pilot for the hub unit may be too long. This results in the wheel to not be seated fully against the hub flange face during mounting.

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   Improper seating of the wheel can result in excessive vibration, brake rotor noise, difficulty removing the wheel after installation and operation of the vehicle, and possibly wheel-end separation during vehicle operation. Should wheel-end separation occur, the driver could loose control of the vehicle, possibly resulting in a crash.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   Skf will notify owners and replace the defective hub units free of charge. The recall began on november 5, 2008. Owners may contact skf vsm north america customer service at 1-800-644-8999.
