I bought my 94 chevy blazer in jan 2000. In 2005, my abd light went on. The dealer said my ABS brake modulator valve failed and that I need to replace my entire ABS unit. It costs $100 used and over $3k new. I found an article stating the recall of this pat in 1999 that I was unaware of. Is it possible to have these repairs covered under the recall since it is a safety feature of the vehicle?
