Dates of Manufacture: March 1993 - September 1994
Defect: These vehicles were built with the polarity of the wiring for the brake switch reversed from what was specified on the switch drawing. With the reversed polarity, the contacts in the brake switch can wear out prematurely. The brake switch will perform normally until the brake switch contacts wear out, resulting in loss of the brake lamps without any warning to the driver. This would fail to warn a following driver that the vehicle is braking and could lead to a crash.
Remedy: Dealers will replace the brake switch and reverse the wiring. Owner notification is expected to begin during March 1999. Owners who do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact Chevrolet at 1-800-222-1020 or GMC at 1-800-462-8782.
