RJ-1470-0

The electrical circuit of the auxiliary brake system (electrical retarder) is not properly connected the brake lights, and therefore, activating the retarder does not turn the brake lights on. In addition, this problem may cause damage to the brake lights circuit inside the electrical control unit of the retarder, in which case activating the retarder will not turn the brake lights on. A similar problem was reported in RJ-1421-0 on 10th May 2005, but this recall is to supersede it.
