Description of the problem	While stopping at slow speed, my anti-lock brakes activated on my 1998 gmc yukon causing me to narrowly miss an accident. The system would do this at least once a day with no warning. I had the vehicle repaired - the corrosion was removed from under the brake sensors. Months later i saw gm issue a recall on this issue but vehicle years were from 1999-2003 not including 1998. I called gm and they refused to cover my 1998 under the recall even though the parts are identical in the braking system between a 1998 and 1999. *jb

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.
