NHTSA's recall notice
As NHTSA's recall record states it for campaign 00V206000.
Defect description
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: HEAVY DUTY TRUCKS. THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH AND THE CRUISE CONTROL SWITCH ARE MOUNTED IN SUCH A WAY AS TO ALLOW MOISTURE WITHIN THE AIR BRAKE SYSTEM TO COLLECT INSIDE THE SWITCHES. IF THE MOISTURE IN THE SWITCHES FREEZES, THE BRAKE LIGHTS MAY NOT FUNCTION AND THE CRUISE CONTROL MIGHT NOT DISENGAGE WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS DEPRESSED.
Safety consequence
IF THE SWITCHES FREEZE, THE RESULTS COULD BE NO BRAKE LIGHTS TO WARN FOLLOWING VEHICLES AND AN EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE IF THE CRUISE CONTROL DOES NOT DISENGAGE AS EXPECTED WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS PRESSED.
Manufacturer remedy
DEALERS WILL RE-MOUNT THE AIR MANIFOLD AND SWITCHES TO A PROVEN, TROUBLE-FREE ORIENTATION.
