C 3500 Truck 2WD V8-454 7.4L (1990)
REASON FOR THIS RECALL
General Motors has determined that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in certain 1990 C/K 1500-3500 trucks. These vehicles may have
a loose pivot bolt holding the brake pedal to the support bracket. It is possible for the bolt to disengage from the nut resulting in loss of braking action. If
this condition occurs while the vehicle is in motion, a vehicle crash could occur without prior warning.
WHAT WE WILL DO
To prevent the possibility of this condition occurring, your dealer will torque the brake pedal pivot bolts to specification. This service will be performed
for you at no charge.
WHAT YOU SHOULD DO
Please contact your Chevrolet dealer as soon as possible to arrange a service date. Instructions for making this correction have been sent to your dealer
and parts are available. The labor time necessary to perform this service correction is approximately fifteen (15) minutes. Please ask your dealer if you
wish to know how much additional time will be needed to schedule and process your vehicle.
Your Chevrolet dealer is best equipped to obtain parts and provide service to insure that your vehicle is corrected as promptly as possible. If, however,
you take your vehicle to your dealer on the agreed service date, and they do not remedy this condition on that date or within five (5) days, we recommend

After contacting your dealer and the Customer Assistance Center, if you are still not satisfied that we have done our best to remedy this condition without
