Center high mounted stop lamp (third brake light) easily chips/breaks that would allow water from rain or washing to sip into the rear compartment of the vehicle where the battery and other electronic components are located. Water could short the electrical wires and cause a fire, or stall the vehicle while it is in motion, causing an accident. Broken third brake light incidents have been reported and discussed in bwm internet forums.
