2004 Chevrolet Kodiak & 2004 GMC Topkick recall: brakes
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain trucks, the switch retainer holding the brake booster push rod and the brake pedal together could be missing.
💥 The risk
This could cause the push rod and pedal to separate, resulting in a loss of foundation brakes and increasing the risk of a crash.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will inspect and install a new retainer if missing. Owner notification began march 5, 2004. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact gmcict at 1-800-862-4389.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
