What is wrong
THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHT IS NOT ACTIVATED WHEN THE PARKING BRAKE IS APPLIED AND THE IGNITION SWITCH IS IN THE "ON" POSITION. THIS CONSTITUTES A NON-COMPLIANCE TO FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 105, "HYDRAULIC BRAKE SYSTEMS". ALSO, THE BRAKE LAMP CHECK FUNCTION IS INOPERABLE.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
DEALER WILL LENGTHEN THE WIRE CONNECTION BETWEEN THE PARKING BRAKE AND THE WIRING HARNESS TO ENSURE PROPER BRAKE LIGHT OPERATION. A GROUNDING WIRE WILL ALSO BE INSTALLED TO ENSURE PROPER OPERATION OF THE LAMP CHECK FUNCTION.

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.
