IN 2011 MY ABS/BRAKE LIGHT STARTING COMING ON TOOK TO DEALERSHIP WAS TOLD HOW MUCH IT WOULD COST TO REPAIR. IN SEARCHING ONLINE HOW TO FIX, I SEE A RECALL WAS GIVEN TO SALT BELT STATES IN 2005. I OWN TRUCK SINCE 2002. TOLD BY GMC TODAY THE RECALL ALTHOUGH IT STATES SALT BELT STATES RECALL ONLY AFFECTED CERTAIN VIN #'S IS THIS CORRECT?
