If this happens, the brake lights could remain on. Additionally, the vehicle could be started and could be shifted into gear without the need to press the brake pedal. It is also possible that if a driver exits the vehicle through the cargo compartment, the transmission may not shift to Park automatically. This could result in unintended vehicle movement. A vehicle that moves unexpectedly could create the risk of a crash. Brake lights that do not work properly could result in road users being confused of the driver's intentions, and increase the risk of a crash.","document":{"url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2021/MC-10185507-0001.pdf","alternate_url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2021/MC-10185507-9999.pdf","confirmed":false},"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/bulletins/10185507","components":[{"id":"brakes","name":"Brakes","parent":null},{"id":"electrical","name":"Electrical system","parent":null},{"id":"latches-locks","name":"Latches and locks","parent":null},{"id":"powertrain","name":"Transmission and driveline","parent":null},{"id":"parking-brake","name":"Parking brake","parent":"brakes"}],"codes":[],"topics":[],"vehicles":[{"make":"COACHMEN","model":"PRISM","year_from":2020,"year_to":2021,"match":null,"vehicle_ids":[]},{"make":"DYNAMAX","model":"ISATA","year_from":2020,"year_to":2021,"match":null,"vehicle_ids":[]},{"make":"FOREST RIVER","model":"FORESTER","year_from":2021,"year_to":2021,"match":null,"vehicle_ids":[]},{"make":"FOREST RIVER","model":"SUNSEEKER","year_from":2021,"year_to":2021,"match":null,"vehicle_ids":[]}],"as_of":"2026-10-19","note":"A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it.
