Does anyone know what recall #98065 is, and how it is applied to my Blazer? It must apply to the brake light switch but mine has been fine for almost 15 years. Since I do all the repairs on my Chevys you can see why I am hesitant to take it to the local chevy dealer.

Transport Canada Recall # 1999015 Recall Date: 1999/02/12
Notification Type: Safety TC
System: Brakes
Manufacturer Recall Number: 98065
Units Affected: 82,791
Category: Light Truck & Van
Recall Details:
Certain vehicles were built with the polarity of the wiring for the zero adjust brake switch reversed from what was specified. Reversed polarity will cause the contacts of the switch to wear out prematurely. When the contacts wear out they will fail to close when the brake pedal is applied, resulting in the loss of the brake lamps without any warning to the driver. This could result in failure to warn a following driver that the vehicle is braking and could lead to a crash. Correction: Dealers will replace the brake switch and reverse the wiring.
