I contacted chevrolet about my 1992 corsicas inoperative brake stop lamp switch. I was contacted by a representative. He asked me for the vehicle VIN and then told me that it was not included in the recall. I never received the recall info in the first place and have not seen a recall for the switch that only included certain cars. My cars brake lights are inoperative like that described in the recall. Should I not be included. Kenneth j.
