Rear left and right brake light relays failed when the brake pedal is depressed. The center brake light functions but not the left and right rear brake lights. This problem was shown under recall NHTSA campaign # 04V051000. My car is not covered by the recall when I checked with Volvo via VIN number. I believe it should be.
