## What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the stop lamp switch may have been contaminated with silicone grease during vehicle assembly.  This could prevent proper brake lamp operation.  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 replace the stop lamp switch.
