What is wrong
Vehicle description: passenger vehicles. The brake lamps in these vehicles are controlled by a switch activated by the movement of the brake pedal. This switch could fail internally, causing it to remain either in the "brake lamps off" position or in the "brake lamps on" position.
Risk
If this happens, the brake lamps either will not operate or will be continuously illuminated, regardless of brake pedal position.
Remedy
Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the existing brake lamp switch with an improved switch.
