Beginning Date of Manufacture: 2002 09 03

Ending Date of Manufacture: 2004 02 27

DEFECT SUMMARY

On certain sport utility vehicles equipped with 3.5 liter V-6 engines, 4-wheel drive and Antilock Braking Systems (ABS), if the brake pedal is depressed at speeds between 3 and 12 MPH when the brake pad friction surfaces are wet, a vibration may occur between the brake discs and pads causing ABS sensor electronic signal noise to develop. At speeds below 5 MPH, the ABS sensor signal noise may cause the ABS Electronic Control Unit (ECU) to activate the ABS, extending the stop

ping distance.

CONSEQUENCE SUMMARY

If an extended stopping distance occurs, it could result in a crash.

CORRECTIVE SUMMARY

Dealers will reprogram the ABS ECU.
