The problem
On certain minivans equipped with adjustable brake pedals, the stop lamp switch wiring harness May be out of position. An improperly positioned stop lamp switch wiring harness could make contact with the u-joint assembly of the steering column. Repeated contact May eventually cause the wiring harness insulation to chafe.
The risk
Chafed insulation could cause a short of the wiring harness resulting in the loss of brake lights, engine stalling, or an inability to start the vehicle increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Dealers will inspect the wiring harness for chafing and repair it if necessary. Also, the dealer will secure the wiring harness to prevent future contact with the u-joint assembly.the recall began on October 9, 2006. Owners May contact Hyundai at 1-800-633-5151.
