“My stop lamp switch failed may 2009 and failed again july 2012. Called Hyundai today and they say my VIN is not covered by the recall listed below. Since the part has failed twice I would like to know why my 2007 Tucson is not covered by the recall. Since I have had the problem twice I think the recall should be expanded to cover my car and possibly others. Posted: apr 21, 2009 10:06 a.m. …”

I have had the vehicle in for servicing and the issue could not be duplicated/diagnosed.”
