Recall 97V146000: Brake Line Wear/Leak

Vehicle Description: Light duty passenger pickup trucks equipped with 4.3L engines. The front brake line can contact the left-hand side of the engine oil pan causing the brake line to wear to the point of brake fluid loss during brake application. Brake fluid loss can reduce braking effectiveness and increase stopping distances resulting in a vehicle crash without prior warning. Dealers will inspect the clearance between the oil pan and the brake line. If the clearance is 6mm or less, dealers will install an additional brake line clip and if there was contact between the oil pan and brake line, the front brake line will be replaced. Owner notification is expected to begin during October 1997. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact Chevrolet at 1-800-222-1020, GMC at 1-800-462-8782 or Isuzu at 1-800-255-6727. Also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's Auto Safety Hotline at 1-800-424-9393.
