Component
EXTERIOR LIGHTING:BRAKE LIGHTS:SWITCH
What Happened
The brake light switch is a small switch that helps turn your brake lights on and off when you press the brake pedal. Over time, extra lubricant from the steering column could drip onto this switch and cause it to fail.
Risk if Unfixed
If the brake light switch fails, your brake lights won't turn on, making it harder for others to see when you're slowing down or stopped. This could increase the risk of a rear-end collision, and in some cases, you might not be able to shift your transmission out of park.
Free Fix
Your Honda dealer will replace the faulty brake light switch and add a protective cover to prevent future issues – all for free. You should schedule this repair as soon as possible and follow up with the recall notice.
