What NHTSA recorded

Vehicle description: passenger vehicles. Some of these vehicles have an inoperative brake lamp-actuating switch. If the brake lamp-actuating switch does not function properly when the brake pedal is depressed, the brake lights may be inoperative. On vehicles equipped with automatic transaxle, a failure in the brake lamp-actuating switch may also prevent shifting out of park. This does not comply with the requirements of fmvss no. 108, "lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment."

Possible consequence

If this were to occur while the vehicle was in motion and another vehicle was following closely, a vehicle crash could occur.

Remedy

Dealers will replace the stop lamp switch assembly.
