The official notice
Defect
On certain vehicles equipped with diesel engines, the brake switch retaining tab may not have been fully secured into the steel brake pedal assembly bracket, and could allow for the switch and retainer to detach from the bracket. If this were to occur, it could cause the brake lights to illuminate whether the brake pedal is depressed or not, and restrict the ability to move the shifter out of Park. Additionally, the accelerator pedal input would also be disabled, which would result in a loss of motive power. These conditions could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property.
Safety Risk
No risk description available.
Remedy
Dealers will inspect the retainer to ensure that it is properly seated and will repair as necessary.
