.There are veeeeery few actual craftsmans and mechanics left.Things are built quickly and easily to boost production out the window,and quality suffers for it.Whether it's a H-D,Honda or a door knob.At least it was a simple electrical switch,and not a faulty suspension component.If the steering necks were cracking and falling off,yes,i would laugh my butt off .But a brake light switch that they are buying from an independent supplier...it happens.Not that it should,but it does.It was probably some cheap part from Japan or something
