What NHTSA recorded

Vehicle description: passenger vehicles. When the stop lamp switch was assembled, grease was inadvertently applied to the contact point. This can cause the contact point to heat up causing internal operation elements to melt allowing the swtich to become stuck in on or off position.

Possible consequence

This condition can cause the anti-lock braking system (abs) warning light to come on.

Remedy

Dealers will install a relay and replace the brake lamp switch.
