Issue:
On certain vehicles, the brake warning light does not turn on when the electronic brake force distribution system malfunctions. This could cause a driver to be unaware of a problem with the brake system.

Safety Risk:
A driver that is not aware of a problem with the brake system could lose control of the vehicle during emergency braking. This could cause an increased risk of a crash.

Corrective Actions:
The company will notify owners by mail. Owners will be instructed to take their vehicle to a dealer to update the instrument cluster software.
