Brake Light problems of the 2007 Hyundai Accent

The brake light went out in my car it was made 06/06 and there is a recall for the same problem but there saying my car isn't covered under this recall. The should look into expanding the recall to other cars.

Gentleman pulls up beside me at a stoplight and says, I don't have any brake lights. I check them and sure enough, no brake lights. I called Hyundai and they say my VIN does not have any recalls. I did see a recall on 2007 Accents online. Want to know why mine isn't on the list. I'm sure they must be using the same parts. I'd like to know how something like this can go bad like the others did and not be recalled.
