The Problem: Insufficient Brake Light Brightness

The primary concern with the affected vehicles is that the brake lights may not emit enough light, making it difficult for other drivers to notice when the vehicle is slowing down or stopping. This problem is particularly dangerous during nighttime driving or in adverse weather conditions, where visibility is already compromised.

• Risk of Collision: Dim brake lights can lead to rear-end collisions, posing a significant safety risk to both the driver and other road users.
• Regulatory Compliance: The issue may also result in non-compliance with safety standards set by regulatory bodies like the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
