Regarding recall 07V063000. I own a 2003 Volkswagen Passat that had the exact same problem with the brake light switch. The brake lights came on and stayed on all day. I had no idea there was a problem. I parked the car, and the brake lights stayed on all night and drained the battery. The dealership refused to honor the recall, staying vehicle was excluded from the recall due to the VIN. I had to pay the repair costs out of pocket and Volkswagen corporate refused to reimburse me.
