NHTSA Campaign #00V048000 EXTERIOR LIGHTING:BRAKE LIGHTS:SWITCH
FEBRUARY 17
2000
17,700 vehicles recalled
2000 BMW 528I -- Vehicle description: Passenger vehicles. The brake lamps in these vehicles are controlled by a switch activated by the movement of the brake pedal. This switch could fail internally, causing it to remain either in the "brake lamps off" position or in the "brake lamps on" position.
If this happens, the brake lamps either will not operate or will be continuously illuminated, regardless of brake pedal position.
Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the existing brake lamp switch with an improved switch. For detailed information & supporting documents, see the official NHTSA page concerning recall #00V048000 »
