Details

On certain vehicles, a malfunctioning stop lamp switch and/or associated wiring may render the stop lamps inoperable or cause them to stay on all the time.

If the switch and/or wiring fail in the open position, the brake lights will not activate and the driver will not be able to shift the vehicle out of park.

If they fail in the closed position, the brake lights will remain on, which will not allow the speed control to be activated.

This could also cause the battery to discharge.

Correction: Dealer will install a newly designed stop lamp switch and wire assembly.
