Either a short or an open circuit may develop, which could result in either a lack of stop lamp function or in the stop lamps being continuously illuminated.  Correction:  Stop lamp switch will be replaced, in addition, the stop lamp extension harness will be replaced with a harness containing bronze terminals at the stop lamp switch connector.","consequence":null,"remedy":null,"notes":null,"mfr_campaign":"01S03","part_number":null,"units":2280,"completion":null,"do_not_drive":null,"park_outside":null,"notification":"Safety Mfr","french":{"component":"Feux et instruments","notification":"Sécurité - fabricant","summary":"Sur certains véhicules, les bornes en laiton qui raccordent le connecteur de rallonge du faisceau de câbles au contact des feux d'arrêt n'ont pas la capacité suffisante pour le courant qui alimente les deux filaments des feux d'arrêt de chaque côté du véhicule.
