Has your Chevrolet been repaired?

Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.

NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A Chevrolet dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.

Equipment

  • Aftermarket equipment: applies only if this part was installed
Summary
Certain honeywell fram racing brand HP4 and HP8 oil filters that were manufactured from may 25, 2006, through September 14, 2007, and sold for use as replacement equipment for vehicles list above. The affected filters are marked with a date code A61451 through A72571 sequentially. The date code and part number appear on the filter housing. Fram racing HP4 and HP8 oil filters not bearing a date code in this range are not affected by this recall. The gasket of the oil filter becomes more pliable under high temperatures and pressures.
Consequence
This condition may cause inadequate sealing and loss of engine oil, possibly resulting in a fire.
Remedy
Honeywell will replace the affected oil filters free of charge. The recall began during November 2007. Owners can contact fram customer service toll-free at 1-800-890-2075.

Exterior lighting › Brake lights › Switch

Summary
On the involved vehicles the brake stoplight and cruise control switch which is operated by the brake pedal may have been assembled with an incorrect lubricant on the actuating plunger. This can cause the rear brake stoplights to become inoperative and the cruise control, if activated, to stay electrically engaged.
Remedy
Dealer will inspect and, if necessary, replace the brake stoplight and cruise control switch at no cost to owner.

January 16, 1979NHTSA 79V026000222 vehicles potentially affected

Service brakes, hydraulic › Foundation components › Hoses, lines/piping, and fittings

Summary
The front hoses on the involved vehicles may have improperly oriented hose fittings, resulting in a rubbing contact between the right brake hose and the upper control arm of the front suspension or in a twisted left hose resulting in a faulty attachment at the frame fitting. Should either of these conditions exist, they could eventually result in brake hose failure causing loss of brake fluid and consequent loss of the front braking action.
Remedy
The dealer will inspect and, if necessary, replace one or both front brake hoses at no cost to owner.
