What is wrong
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.
What can happen
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.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
DEALERS WILL RE-MOUNT THE AIR MANIFOLD AND SWITCHES TO A PROVEN, TROUBLE-FREE ORIENTATION.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
