Summary

Consequence

The vehicle stall from the engine turning off could increase the risk of a crash.

Remedy

Alpha has notified the affected vehicle manufacturers. If those manufacturers determine that the switches create a safety risk in their vehicles, they will notify their owners and replace the switch, free of charge.
