On certain P500 and P600 vheilces, the hydraulic stop lamp switches which illuminate the stop lamps are installed on the low pressure side of the brake system and may not be activated under light brake pedal applications. This condition may not provide adequate warning of vehicle braking to drivers following the vehicle. There is no effect on braking capability.
