GMC Sierra: Brakes

Affects GMC Sierra · 2001–2002 — about 8K vehicles.

The hazard

Certain 2500 and 3500 pickup trucks equipped with 6.6L diesel engines fail to comply with requirements of C.M.V.S.S. No. 105, "Hydraulic and Electric Brake Systems." These vehicles have a brake system warning light in the instrument cluster that may not illuminate when the brake fluid is low. In addition, when the brake fluid is low, the vehicle may not meet the partial system requirements of C.M.V.S.S. No. 105. These conditions could result in reduced braking capability, which could lead to a crash. Correction: Dealers will change the location of a wire connection in the underhood bussed electrical center.
