EXTERIOR LIGHTING:BRAKE LIGHTS:SWITCH

What Happened
The brake light switch in your vehicle controls the brake lights when you press the brake pedal. In some cases, this switch can malfunction and stay on or off all the time.
Risk if Unfixed
If this happens, your brake lights might not turn on when you press the brake pedal, or they'll stay on even when the pedal is released. This could make it harder for other drivers to notice when you're slowing down, increasing the risk of a rear-end collision.
Free Fix
Your dealer will inspect and replace the brake light switch with a new one, free of charge. You should schedule this repair as soon as possible to ensure your safety on the road.
