Recall for Chevrolet LUMINA
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Recall (Oct 16, 1990)
Problem
Brake stoplamps may not illuminate or, in some cases, stoplamps will not stay illuminated all the time when brakes are applied due to a faulty stoplamp switch. also in vehicles equipped with cruise control, a faulty stoplamp switch can result in resumption of the cruise control function upon release of the brake pedal.
Consequence
A trailing vehicle may not recognize a braking actionin time to respond appropriately. also, cruise control will reengage uponrelease of the brake pedal and resume the set speed. in either case, it couldresult in a crash without prior warning.
Resolution
Install an improved design stoplamp switch.
