Details

What's wrong: Certain pickup trucks may experience the permanent loss of brake lamp function or brake lamps that are illuminated at all times. The center high-mounted stop lamp (chmsl) is affected in both instances. Also, if equipped, the cruise control will become inoperative. Any trailer brake lamps which are connected to the vehicle's brake lamp wiring will mimic the vehicle's brake lamps when either condition occurs.

Why it matters: A following driver may not know when the brakes have been applied, and a rear-end crash could occur without prior warning.

The fix: Dealers will replace the brake lamp switch assembly. The recall began on December 5, 2006.
