Safety Recall: Brake Pedal Position Switch May Fail
(Supersedes 07-061, dated October 9, 2007, to update the information marked by the black bars)
BACKGROUND
During vehicle assembly, the steering column telescopic mechanism may have been over-lubricated with silicone grease. Over time, some of this grease
could form into oil droplets that drip onto the brake pedal position switch connector. If this happens, the brake pedal position switch may fail, resulting
in no brake lights, and an increased risk of a rear-end collision. In addition, a failed brake light switch could prevent the shift lever from moving out of
Park (vehicles with A/T) or disable the auto-stop feature (Civic Hybrids).

In addition to these verification items, check for a punch mark below the first character of the engine compartment VIN. A punch mark in that location
