Known issues on the 2002 Escalade. Three recalls are on federal record for this model year. The first covers certain replacement fuel filters whose connector was not manufactured to specification, so the O-ring may not seat correctly on the fuel line, risking an inadequate seal and, near an ignition source, a fire. The second covers certain replacement wheel hub assemblies whose inboard retention nut can loosen, producing an ABS light indication, noise, and potentially wheel separation and a crash. The third covers the second-row folding head restraints, which have two pinch points that can trap and injure a finger when the restraint folds rearward. Owners have filed 149 complaints for the year and no technical service bulletins are logged. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.
From a fuel line inspection to a wheel hub or seat teardown, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2002 Escalade.
