EVENT_SUMMARY
Your vehicle's multifunction switch could develop an open circuit, causing your brake lights and rear hazard lights to stop working. This switch is controlled by a small carrier that's located near your parking brake.
RISK_ASSESSMENT
If your brake and hazard lights aren't working, other drivers might not know when you're slowing down or stopped, which could lead to a crash.
RESOLUTION_PROTOCOL
You're entitled to a free replacement of the hazard switch carrier at an authorized dealership. They'll contact you in two phases, starting April 15, 2002, and you can schedule a service date to get it fixed without charge. If it takes too long, call Chevrolet at 1-800-222-1020, GMC at 1-800-462-8782, or Oldsmobile at 1-800-442-6537.
