Recall 07V336000: ABS Module Reprogramming
MAKE/MODELS: MODEL/BUILD YEARS:
Chevrolet/Express 1500 2007
GMC/Savana 1500 2007
MANUFACTURER: General Motors Corp.
NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 07V342000 MFR'S REPORT DATE: August 06, 2007
COMPONENT: Exterior Lighting: Brake Lights
POTENTIAL NUMBER OF UNITS AFFECTED: 10113
SUMMARY:
Certain vans fail to conform to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated
Equipment." When the brakes are applied, the stop lamps will illuminate. When the brake pedal is released, the stop lamps are no longer illuminated but
the rear brakes may still be applied. The brake may release after a few seconds or after the next firm brake pedal application.
CONSEQUENCE:
If the rear brakes are still applied after release of the brake pedal, the driver may notice a substantial drag when driving and may need to depress the gas
pedal further than usual to continue vehicle movement. A vehicle driven with the brakes applied can cause overheating of the brakes, resulting in
increased stopping distance which could result in a crash.
REMEDY:
Dealers will reprogram the anti-lock brake system module. The manufacturer has not yet provided an owner notification schedule for this campaign.
Owners may contact Chevrolet at 1-800-630-2438 or GMC at 1-866-996-9643.

GM recall No. 07177. Customers may also contact The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236
