Engine Rattling And Whining Sounds Problems of Chevrolet Silverado 1500

While at a chevy dealer to have a recall (17276 loss of power steering) done on my truck I asked them to check on a grinding/whining noise from the area of the brake booster pump on the engine. They said in fact it was the brake vacuum booster pump, that it should be fixed or I could experience a sudden loss of braking power. They further explained it would have been covered under warranty but that expired a year ago and would now cost me some $440. Am wondering if other folks have complained about this. I've read of it happening to others on certain internet blog sites. To my way of thinking the brakes (and I suppose loss of abs/traction control) are at least as important as the steering that was enough of a problem to issue a recall. Btw the truck had 27,971 miles on it when the problem started, hardly 'warn out'.
