EXTERIOR LIGHTING:BRAKE LIGHTS:SWITCH
What Happened
The brake light switch in your vehicle is the part that turns your brake lights on and off. If it was installed incorrectly, it could malfunction.
Risk if Unfixed
If the brake light switch fails, your brake lights could stay on all the time or not work at all when you press the brake pedal. This means you won't be able to signal to other drivers when you're slowing down or stopping, which could lead to a crash without warning.
Free Fix
Your Volkswagen dealer will replace the faulty brake light switch with a redesigned one at no cost to you. You should schedule the repair as soon as you receive the recall notice.
