Recall 92V-086: 1988–1989 Pontiac Grand Prix
GENERAL MOTORS CORP. recall for exterior lighting, reported to NHTSA on Jun 19, 1992, covering about 112,765 vehicles.
The problem
Brake stoplamps may not illuminate or, in some cases, stoplamps may not stay illuminated all the time when brakes are applied due to a faulty stoplamp switch. Also, in vehicles with cruise control, a faulty stoplamp switch can result in resumption of the cruise control function upon release of the brake pedal.
The risk
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.
The fix
Install an improved design stoplamp switch.
