The hazard
On certain vehicles, the brake lamp switch may have been incorrectly installed during vehicle assembly. This may cause a delay in brake stop lamp illumination when the brake pedal is depressed. In situations of light brake pedal application, the stop lamps may not illuminate. Failure of the brake lamps to illuminate when the brakes are applied may result in the following road users being unaware of the driver's intentions, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury or death. Correction: Dealers will remove the brake lamp switch and re-install it correctly.
