  1. Rear brake lamps may fail

    Reported February 23, 1990Model years 1990NHTSA campaign 90V039000364 vehicles affected

    The rear window defroster fuse may blow if the circuit's current exceeds its capacity. This could disable the rear stop lamps, except the high-mounted stop lamp, leaving following traffic with insufficient warning and potentially causing a crash. An additional fused circuit will be installed for the main stop lamps.
