Center brake light

gnpower · 12-16-2008, 12:12 PM

My center brake light is falling off and now taped up so that it won't completely come off. I called the dealer and it is covered under the warranty, but his tone over the phone sounded like this was a known growing issue. Has anyone experienced this before?

check in the warranty section there is a thread about this

It's a pretty common problem - easily repaired under warranty.

Alert your dealer's Service Department to Service Bulletin SIB 63 10 08 as it addresses this issue.:smile:

Definitely a known issue you should be fine... now when you see the part of your car smashed with the red sox badge I don't know if they will cover that...
