Recalls

On certain vehicles, the stop lamp switch may have been incorrectly installed during vehicle assembly.

This could prevent proper brake lamp operation.

Failure of the brake lamps to illuminate when the brakes are applied may result in the following road users being unaware of the driver's intentions, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury or death.

A malfunction of the switch may also cause the brake lamps to remain illuminated when the brake pedal is released.

Additionally, a faulty switch may affect the operation of the brake-transmission shift interlock on automatic transmission-equipped vehicles so that the transmission shifter would not be able to be shifted out of PARK position.

It may also cause the Electronic Stability Control (ESC) light to illuminate, and it may not deactivate the cruise control when the brake pedal is depressed.

Correction: Dealers will replace the stop lamp switch assembly.
