Recall - Brake Lamps Not Working Properly
# 08317: Product Safety - Brake Lamps Not Working Properly - (Feb 10, 2009)
Subject:
08317 -- Brake Lamps Not Working Properly
Models:
2005-2006 Pontiac G6
Condition
General Motors has decided that a defect, which relates to motor vehicle safety, exists in certain 2005-2006 model year Pontiac G6 vehicles. Some of
these vehicles have a condition where the brake lamps may not operate properly because of fretting corrosion in a wiring connector. Fretting corrosion in
the connector could cause the brake lamps to illuminate when the brake pedal has not been depressed, or the lamps may not illuminate when the brake
pedal is depressed. In addition, the cruise control may not engage, or greater brake pedal force may be required to shift the vehicle out of PARK. Brake
lamps that are not operating properly may not warn a driver in a following vehicle of the braking status and could lead to a crash without prior warning.
Correction
Dealers are to apply a dielectric lubricant to the connector to repair and prevent fretting corrosion.
Vehicles Involved
For dealers with involved vehicles, a listing with involved vehicles containing the complete vehicle identification number, customer name, and address
information has been prepared and will be provided through the GM GlobalConnect Recall Reports. Dealers will not have a report available if they have
no involved vehicles currently assigned.
The listing may contain customer names and addresses obtained from Motor Vehicle Registration Records. The use of such motor vehicle registration
data for any purpose other than follow-up necessary to complete this recall is a violation of law in several states/provinces/countries. Accordingly, you
are urged to limit the use of this report to the follow-up necessary to complete this recall.
