2000–2002 Chevrolet Blazer & 2000–2001 GMC Jimmy + 1 more recall: lights

⚠️ What's wrong

General motors is recalling 5,862 my 2000-2002 chevrolet Blazer, my 2000-2001 GMC Jimmy, and my 2000 oldsmobile Bravada sport utility vehicles. The multifunction switch could develop an open circuit condition that results in the stop lamps and the rear hazard lamps becoming inoperative. The center high mounted stop lamp and turn signal functions are not affected.

💥 The risk

The loss of stop lamps and rear hazard lamps could fail to warn a following driver that the vehicle is braking and/or is stopped and could result in a crash.

🔧 The fix

Dealers will replace the hazard switch carrier. The recall began on june 17, 2008. Owners may contact chevrolet at 1-800-630-2438, GMC at 1-866-996-9463, or oldsmobile at 1-800-630-6537, or through their website at http://www.gmownercenter.com . Note: this campaign is an expansion of a previous recall (please see 01V364).
