2004–2006 Chevrolet Colorado & 2004–2006 GMC Canyon + 2 more recall: lights
⚠️ What's wrong
Certain pickup trucks may experience the permanent loss of brake lamp function or brake lamps that are illuminated at all times. The center high-mounted stop lamp (chmsl) is affected in both instances. Also, if equipped, the cruise control will become inoperative. Any trailer brake lamps which are connected to the vehicle's brake lamp wiring will mimic the vehicle's brake lamps when either condition occurs.
💥 The risk
A following driver may not know when the brakes have been applied, and a rear-end crash could occur without prior warning.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will replace the brake lamp switch assembly. The recall began on december 5, 2006. Owners may contact chevrolet at 1-800-630-2438; GMC at 1-866-996-9463 or isuzu at 1-800-255-6727.
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.)
