Recall 88V040000: Brake Light Switch Defect

THE STOP LAMP SWITCH MAY HAVE A LOOSE ELECTRICAL CONTACT. THE LOOSE CONTACT CAN OVERHEAT AND MELT THE SURROUNDING PLASTIC CAUSING THE CONTACT TO STICK OPEN. AN OPEN CONTACT WOULD RENDER THE BRAKE LIGHTS INOPERATIVE WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS DEPRESSED. ALSO, THE TRANSMISSION CLUTCH CONTROL AND CRUISE CONTROL CONTACTS WOULD REMAIN CLOSED. THIS CONDITION WOULD RESULT IN CRUISE RESUME UPON BRAKE PEDAL RELEASE IF THE CRUISE CONTROL IS IN THE ON POSITION. EITHER AN UNEXPECTED CRUISE RESUME OR INOPERATIVE BRAKE LIGHTS COULD RESULT IN A VEHICLE CRASH WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING. THE ROTARY STOP LAMP SWITCH WILL BE REPLACED ON ALL INVOLVED VEHICLES.

SYSTEM: ELECTRICAL/STOP LAMP SWITCH.

VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER CARS.
