Brake Light Switch problems of the 2009 Hyundai Accent

I own two Hyundai Accents, a 2008 and this, a 2009. Now both have had the same problem with the brake light switch becoming inoperative. Fortunately, the lack of brake lights was noticed before any accidents occurred, and the vehicles were taken to the dealer and were repaired at no charge. It seems that the recall for 2006 and 2007 should have been extended to the 2008 and 2009 Accent models (plus any others using the same brake light switch).

The brake lights all failed at the same time. My daughter was following me and noticed they weren't working. I checked the fuse and it is ok, so the next component is the switch. I researched problems with my model and noticed there was a recall for the 2007 model year for the same model car for the stop lamp switch. Maybe the same parts are being used in later model years.

2009 Hyundai Accent. Consumer writes in regards to stop lamp switch malfunction recall notice and consumer seeks reimbursement for repairs. The consumer stated in April 2013, he received a recall notice. On November 19, 2012, his vehicle was repaired at a nationwide recognized facility, where the stop light switch was replaced, due to no brake lights. The consumer stated he followed all of the procedures of the recall notification, for vehicles already repaired. On August 12, 2013, the consumer called the customer service number, only to be informed, he would have to take his vehicle to a Hyundai dealer to have it inspected and verified, before the reimbursement could be approved.
