Defect Summary

A number of brake light switches have an oval-shaped piston which can get stuck under certain conditions. Other switches were mounted so that both locking tabs are not completely engaged in the mounting bracket. If one side is not engaged, the switch is misaligned with the pedal mechanism and can bind the piston movement, which can cause the brake light switch to stick in the "off" or "on" position.

Safety Consequence

This results in either the brake lights remaining on constantly or the brake lights not illuminating when the brakes are applied. this results in inaccurate signals of brake operation to other vehicle operators, and could result in an accident.

Corrective Action

Dealers will inspect brake light switches. For vehicles with the oval-shaped piston and for vehicles with misaligned brake light switches, the brake light switch will be replaced.
