Absence of the grease can result in electrical arcing between the light bulb major filament contact and the socket terminal that can render the stop and turn signal bulb inoperative.  An inoperative rear turn signal lamp will not convey the driver's intention to turn to drivers in following vehicles.  If a stop lamp is inoperative, indication of brake application to a following vehicle will be reduced, although during braking, warning to the rear of the vehicle will be conveyed by the remaining functional stop lamp and the center high-mounted stop lamp.  Correction:  Dealers will replace the rear lamp bulb socket assemblies.","consequence":null,"remedy":null,"notes":null,"mfr_campaign":"04083","part_number":null,"units":79716,"completion":null,"do_not_drive":null,"park_outside":null,"notification":"Safety TC","french":{"component":"Feux et instruments","notification":"Sécurité - TC","summary":"Certains véhicules ont été fabriqués sans que l'on applique la graisse diélectrique requise sur les douilles d'ampoule arrière. Sans graisse, un arc électrique pourrait se former entre le contact de filament principal de l'ampoule et le terminal de la douille et rendre l'ampoule de freinage et de signalisation inopérante. Une ampoule de clignotant arrière qui ne fonctionne pas empêchera les autres conducteurs de connaître les intentions du conducteur du véhicule dont l'ampoule ne fonctionne pas. Une ampoule de freinage qui ne fonctionne pas rendra les intentions du conducteur moins évidentes bien que l'autre ampoule de freinage et le feu de freinage surélevé avertiront les autres conducteurs.
