Consumer Description

MY 2006 HYUNDAI ELANTRA MANUFACTURED IN KOREA IN DECEMBER 2005 FALLS OUTSIDE THE HYUNDAI RECALLS FOR DEFECTIVE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCHES (IT IS NOT A PUERTO RICAN-MADE 2006, OR A 2007+ ELANTRA COVERED BY RECALLS), BUT USES THE SAME DEFECTIVE PART # (93810-3K000) UNDER RECALL, AS DETAILED IN TSB 09-01-018. MY CAR'S BRAKE LIGHTS FAILED TO WORK, GIVING ONLY 0.5V TO THE BULB SOCKETS WHEN BRAKES WERE APPLIED. I TESTED THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH, AND IT FAILED TO GIVE CONTINUITY BETWEEN ANY OF ITS 4 CONTACTS IN OPEN OR CLOSED POSITION. *TR
