Affected vehicles

Chevrolet S-10 Blazer 1990–1996 Chevrolet Blazer LS 1990–1996

Hazard

The anti-lock braking system (ABS) brake force control device contains an improperly designed switch that detects the drive mode (4-wheel drive vs. 2-wheel drive). During 2-wheel drive operation, the computer may incorrectly identify the vehicle as being in 4-wheel drive mode and control braking force accordingly, potentially resulting in increased braking distance compared to normal operation.

制動装置の制動力制御装置(ABS:アンチロックブレーキシステム)において、走行状 態(4輪駆動と2輪駆動)を検知するスイッチが不適切なため、2輪駆動での走行時に4 輪駆動状態であるとコンピュータが誤認識し、制動力を制御してしまうことから、本来の 作動より制動距離が長くなるおそれがある。

Remedy

Replace the switch with a corrected component on all vehicles.
