If this occurs, the bulb may flicker and eventually become inoperative.Consequence Summary: The loss of one or both of the tail lamp/stop lamps could reduce the vehicle's visibility to following drivers and fail to warm others that the vehicle is braking and/or is stopped, which could result in a crash.Corrective Summary: Dealers will inspect the tail lamp/stop lamp assemblies, and if necessary, replace them. The manufacturer has not yet provided an owner notification schedule for this campaign. Owners should contact Chevrolet at 1-800-630-2438. |
