The defect
The ESP software may not meet the specifications. In certain scenarios the brake lights may be permanently activated and a warning message about the brake light malfunction would be displayed in the instrument cluster. As a result, the ESP function would be deactivated and the parking brake could no longer be moved from its current position.
The hazard
If the parking brake was not to activate when occupants are leaving the vehicle, the vehicle could continue to move. The ESP function would also not be available. As a result, there may be an increased risk of accident and injury to occupants of the vehicle and other road users/property.
