Summary

On the involved vehicles the brake stoplight and cruise control switch which is operated by the brake pedal may have been assembled with an incorrect lubricant on the actuating plunger. This can cause the rear brake stoplights to become inoperative and the cruise control, if activated, to stay electrically engaged.

Actions

Dealer will inspect and, if necessary, replace the brake stoplight and cruise control switch at no cost to owner.
