Details

On certain vehicles, the brake pedal stopper pad material could deteriorate over time and allow the stop lamp switch plunger to remain extended when the brake pedal is released.

This could result in the stop lamps illuminating continuously, which would result in following road users being unaware of the driver's intentions.

Additionally, it could result in activation of the engine management system’s brake pedal override feature, the illumination of the traction control warning lamp, and/or the ability to move the shift lever without depressing the brake pedal, which could result in unintended vehicle movement.

These conditions could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property.

Correction: Dealers will replace the brake pedal stopper pad.
