BRAKE STOP LAMPS MAY NOT ILLUMINATE OR, IN SOME CASES, STOP LAMPS MAY NOT STAY ILLUMINATED ALL THE TIME WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED DUE TO A FAULTY STOP LAMP SWITCH. ALSO, IN VEHICLES WITH CRUISE CONTROL, A FAULTY STOP LAMP SWITCH CAN RESULT IN RESUMPTION OF THE CRUISE CONTROL FUNCTION UPON RELEASE OF THE BRAKE PEDAL. A TRAILING VEHICLE MAY NOT RECOGNIZE A BRAKING ACTION IN TIME TO RESPOND APPROPRIATELY. ALSO, CRUISE CONTROL WILL REENGAGE UPON RELEASE OF THE BRAKE PEDAL AND RESUME THE SET SPEED. IN EITHER CASE, IT COULD RESULT IN A CRASH WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING. INSTALL AN IMPROVED DESIGN STOP LAMP SWITCH.

SYSTEM: BRAKE STOPLAMP SWITCH.

VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER CARS.

NOTE: THIS RECALL AUGMENTS NHTSA RECALL 90V185000.
