What is wrong
THE CB-49 CIRCUIT BREAKER TRIPS UNDER NORMAL LOAD CONDITIONS BECAUSE THE ELECTRICAL LOAD APPLIED IS CLOSE TO THE BREAKER RATING AND THE TEMPERATURE IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AFFECTS THE PRECISION OF THE BREAKER. THE TRIPPED BREAKER RESULTS IN LOSS OF STOPLIGHT OPERATION.
What can happen
WITHOUT STOPLIGHT OPERATION, THERE IS NO WARNING TOTRAFFIC THAT THE VEHICLE IS SLOWING OR STOPPING, WHICH MAY RESULT IN ANACCIDENT.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
A CIRCUIT BREAKER MODIFICATION WILL BE PERFORMED USING A DIFFERENT CIRCUIT BREAKER WHICH IS MORE RESISTANT TO HEAT.

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.
