What This Recall Means

Component

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:BRAKE LIGHTS

What Happened
The tail lamp and brake light bulbs in your vehicle are held in place by a socket. In some cases, the vibration and heat from driving can cause the bulb to loosen, making it flicker and eventually stop working.
Risk if Unfixed
If the brake light goes out, other drivers won't see that you're slowing down or stopping, increasing the risk of a crash. A faulty turn signal light can also make it harder for others to understand your intentions, making a collision more likely.

How to Get This Fixed

Free Fix
Your dealer will inspect and replace the tail lamp/stop lamp assemblies if necessary, at no cost to you. You should contact your dealer to schedule the repair as soon as possible.
