2005 Chevrolet Express & 2005 GMC Savana VAN recall: lights
⚠️ What's wrong
Certain conversion vans built on GMC/chevrolet chassis fail to comply with requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 108, "lamps, reflective devices and associated equipment." the housing lens of the center high mounted stop lamp does not allow enough light to emit from the lamp.
💥 The risk
Following vehicles may not be fully informed of vehicle braking. Rear-end collisions and injury to occupants may occur.
🔧 The fix
Santa fe is working with audiovox to replace the center high-mounted brake lamp assembly. Owners may contact santa fe at 1-800-274-1886 or asa at 1-574-266-3172.
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.)
