## What is wrong

On certain vehicles, excessive amounts of silicon grease was applied to the telescoping mechanism of the steering column during vehicle assembly.  As a result, oil can separate from the grease, which can form droplets that may fall onto the brake light switch.  This can cause the brake light to fail, it may not be possible to shift the transmission from the Park position and/or the stop lamps may fail to illuminate, leading to a failure to alert a following vehicle of the driver's intent to stop, potentially resulting in a crash.  Correction: Dealers will replace the brake light switch and connector housing, and install a cover to prevent oil from damaging the switch.
