What NHTSA recorded

The stop lamp switches installed on the subject vehicles may have inadequate internal switch contact pressure due to an incorrect formation of the switch contact terminals. This lack of switch contact continuity may render the (stop) brake warning lights inoperative.

Remedy

The stop lamp switches on all involved vehicles will be replaced and properly formed terminals will be installed at no cost to owner.
