1998 CHEVROLET EXPRESS -- Vehicle description: Light duty pickup trucks and multi-purpose passenger vehicles. One or both front brake rotor/hubs were built with an out-of-specification gray iron that can fail during the life of the vehicle.

If a driver continues to drive with a cracked rotor, the cracks could continue around the wheel mounting bolt circle and ultimately result in a wheel separation.

Dealers will inspect the rotors for a core date of "287" and, if found, replace the rotor. For detailed information & supporting documents, see the official NHTSA page concerning recall #98V033000 »
