General Motors recalled about 185,000 small GM, Chevrolet and Isuzu pickup trucks because of a defect in the brake light that may contribute to accidents. GM stated in their defect notice that "some of these vehicles have a brake lamp switch that may not work as designed due to contamination in the switch. This could cause the loss of all brake lamps, or cause all of the brake lamps to stay on continuously. Both of these conditions could fail to warn others of the driver's intentions and could lead to a vehicle crash."
Dealers will replace the part free of charge. The recall covers vehicles sold or currently registered in Alabama, Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Louisiana, Mississippi, Nevada, New Mexico, Puerto Rico, South Carolina, Texas, Virgin Islands and Utah.
The following vehicles are involved: 2004-2009 Chevrolet Colorado, 2004-2009 GMC Canyon, 2006 Isuzu I-280 and I-350, 2007-2008 I-290 and I-370.
Owners may contact Chevrolet at 800-630-2438, GMC at 866-996-9463 and Isuzu at 800-255-6727.
