Transport Canada recall 1996158

A recall listed here may apply to a vehicle of this year, make and model. Only the manufacturer can say whether it applies to one vehicle: check the VIN with the official lookups.

What is wrong

On certain 325I, 325IC, 325IS, 525I, 525IT, 530I, 530IT, 535I, 540I, 735I, 735IL, 740I, 740IL and 750I, the brake light switch may fail due to a reduction of contact force on the "snap contact" system which the switch incorporates. This could cause heat induced distortion of the plastic internal switch parts in the area of the electrical contacts. This could cause the switch to remain either in the ON or the OFF position resulting in the brake lights being continuously illuminated or inoperative regardless of brake pedal operation. Correction: Switch will be replaced with on that utilizes a different contact system.
