The problem

On certain vehicles equipped with bendix sl4 stop light switches, improper lubrication was applied to the piston mechanism in the switch.

The risk

This lack of proper lubrication can cause the switch to stick, resulting in the vehicle stop lamps staying illuminated or failing to extinguish promptly. If the stop lamps fail to perform as designed, a crash could result without warning.

The fix

Bendix will notify its customers and provide a free remedy. Bendix has not yet provided the agency with a notification and remedy schedule. Owners should contact capacity at 903-759-0610.
