“I bought the 2007 Hyundai Tucson a couple of weeks ago. Last week the ESC off light started to come on from time to time. I noticed that there was a recall going on the tucsons because of a faulty stop lamp switch which can cause the ESC off light to illuminate. I contacted the local Hyundai dealer but they told me my car wasn't covered under the recall. Is there anything I can do to get them to replace the stop lamp switch as part of the recall?”
