National Highway Traffic Safety Administration shows malfunction in the light switch of certain sport utility vehicle including the 2000 Chevy Blazer models. The defect in switch could lead to an open circuit condition resulting to failure in the function of stop lamps and rear hazard lamps. This defect may fail to warn the driver if the car stops which may result to car collision.

 

Another recall done in March 16, 2000 shows problem in the car's steering involving the brake warning indicator. The power steering cooler hose of this device can separate from the power brake booster fluid flow switch assembly which may result to the flow of the power steering fluid onto hot engine parts. If this occurs, fire could destroy the engine compartment. The remedy is for dealers to inspect the screw clamps of the power steering hose joints and replace it if it is not the proper screw type. .
