Not on the Vibe.http://www.startribune.com/sto....html

That abs concern/recall has been out for a while now. They were starting it right about the time I left working for GM cause I had gotten the memo for "be aware, the media is announcing a recall... here is the information..." blah blah.basicly, abs sensor gets dirty, abs fails and you won't be stopping anytime soon... I see they finally got enough parts to take care of the demands lol

oh boy, this will get expensive....the ABS sensor is made into the wheel hubs.

I had to fight hard with one dealer to get 'em to replace that damn ABS sensor on my old Malibu, it was setting friggin' codes left and right, so obviously it was faulty... but nooo, "that's integrated into the hub, so it's an expensive part, and we aren't going to replace that under warranty even though your car only has like 10,000 miles on it, for it's just too much money!" GM's in for some expense here it seems. Interesting to see my Vibe's replacement is mentioned in that article there too. *gasp* Luckily the Sonata's issue is nowhere near as expensive or as dangerous. lol!
