REASON FOR THIS SAFETY RECALL
Some of the above vehicles may flash the hazard lights during certain braking events. If the hazard lights flash during a braking event, following drivers may become confused by the additional lighting, which can cause a vehicle crash without prior warning.
The condition described above does not comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (“FMVSS”) 108 Table 1-a which requires that stop lamps shall be “steady burning.” Vehicles that activate the hazard lights when the brake pedal is applied are not steady burning.
