What NHTSA recorded

The rear lamp socket may not illuminate because the metal can in the lamp socket moves or separates from the plastic socket housing.

Possible consequence

This can result in malfunction of the stop or rear running lamps. Center high mount stop lamp function is unaffected. Rear lamp malfunction can result in following drivers not being alerted to the subject vehicle's presence or intended actions, particularly in the case in which both lamps have malfunctioned.

Remedy

Dealers will install a revised rear lamp socket and wiring assemblies.
