Chevrolet Recall 06V-139: Exterior lighting – switch

Affected: 2004–2006 Chevrolet Colorado, 2004–2006 GMC Canyon. Filed with NHTSA on April 27, 2006, covering about 404,733 vehicles.

The problem

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.
