What was wrong

Defect

Bendix Commercial Vehicle Systems, LLC (Bendix) is recalling certain SL-4 Brake Light Pressure switches with part numbers K101993, K101996, K108141, and K108142 manufactured between December 1, 2019 and January 31, 2020. When air pressure is supplied to the brake light switch it may leak, possibly causing the internal electrical contacts to become jammed.

Risk

Jammed electrical contacts in the brake light switch can cause the brake lights to remain illuminated, or fail to illuminate. Either of these scenarios can increase the risk of a crash.

Manufacturer remedy

Bendix will notify owners, and dealers will replace the brake light switch, free of charge. The recall began March 4, 2021. Owners may contact Bendix customer service at 1-877-345-9526.
