Hazard

The brake light switch contains rubber components molded using an inappropriate release agent, resulting in some components containing silicone. This causes silicone gas to accumulate inside the switch. When the switch is operated and current flows, silicon oxide deposits form on the contact surfaces. Continued use in this condition may result in the brake light remaining illuminated and not turning off.
