Hazard description
Certain heavy duty trucks. In below freezing operating conditions, the air-pressure actuated brake light switch that is mounted outside the cab on the front cowl, may not activate during light to normal braking and could result in a failure of the brake lights to activate. If the brake lights fail to come on, there will be no lights to indicate to following vehicles that the vehicle is decelerating, which could result in a crash. Correction: Dealers will replace all air brake stop light switches.
