Defect

Therefore, if the switch assembly is cooled with some external water (ie. rain or puddle), the water can penetrate into the switch cover inside.

Hazard

Can cause corrosion on electrical contact points, leading to poor electrical contact, resulting in possibility of No Stop Lamp operation while braking by rear brake only.

Remedy
