Issue

On certain vehicles, the brake stop lamp switch is mounted on a bracket welded on the service brake pedal support assembly. This bracket is relatively close to the parking brake pedal when the parking brake pedal is fully applied. Due to its proximity to the parking brake pedal, in some instances, the stop lamp switch bracket could be damaged by the operator's foot. Depending on the amount of bracket deformation, this could result in the brake stop lamps remaining "ON". If the deformation is significant, the service brakes could become partially engaged, resulting in brake drag with associated brake noise, vibration and/or illumination of the brake warning light. Should the vehicle continue to be operated in this condition, brake drag could cause excessive heat, which may result in reduced braking performance. This could increase stopping distances, possibly resulting in a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will replace the service brake pedal support assembly.
