What is wrong

Issue:

On certain vehicles, the brake lamp switch could fail. This would cause the brake lamps not to turn on when the brakes are applied. Depending on the model, this could cause an inability to shift from park or to start using the push-button ignition. This may also cause problems with the following: anti-lock brake system (ABS), vehicle dynamics control (VDC), and/or Eyesight system.

Safety Risk:

If the brake lights do not work, a following driver may not to recognize that a vehicle ahead is braking, increasing the risk of crash.

Corrective Actions:

The company will notify owners by mail. Owners will be instructed to take their vehicle to a dealer to have the brake lamp switch replaced.
