NHTSA Campaign #06V139000 EXTERIOR LIGHTING:BRAKE LIGHTS:SWITCH

APRIL 27
2006

404,733 vehicles recalled

2005 GMC CANYON -- 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.

A following driver may not know when the brakes have been applied, and a rear-end crash could occur without prior warning.

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. For detailed information & supporting documents, see the official NHTSA page concerning recall #06V139000 »
