Description of the problem	I am a police fleet manager that has an all chevy tahoe fleet. In october 2019, i received notification for chevy recall n192268490 and every vehicle in the fleet was taken in for the recall. The recall was to reprogram the brakes, so braking would still be possible even if the brake booster failed. However, the recall did not address the root of the problem, which is a faulty secondary hydraulic brake assist vacuum pump. I was aware of this problem because i had two tahoes already have a vacuum booster failure, which resulted in an extremely hard brake pedal which would not stop the vehicle. The problem arises during slow speed braking, such as parking lots or slow speed patrol. Less than a week after taking the vehicles to chevy for the recall, an officer was maneuvering slowly in a parking lot. The vehicle experienced an extremely hard brake pedal and the vehicle failed to stop. The officer was able to turn the vehicle, barely avoiding a collision. Obviously, gm's band-aid recall does not fix or even override the problem. The vehicle was taken back to the dealership, where the service providers agreed the recall was a placebo and there is an issue with the vacuum booster. As per a recent letter from gm, they have given an extended warranty on the vacuum pump, for free replacement. So, obviously they know there is a problem. The liability placed on municipalities, who have no other choice but to use their fleet vehicles with known braking issues, is an unfair burden and risk. Gm needs to recall and replace the vacuum boosters! *js

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
