Stop lamp partly not working on the Ford Fusion

Is this unusual for this model?
| Compared with | What it says |
|---|---|
| Every car in the data | 0.4% of tests record it — this model is 6.3× that share |
| The 176 models compared | 11 of 176, highest first |
| The model's own record | 197,378 tests · every year of the Fusion → |
A share of tests is not a probability for your car: it counts every Ford Fusion tested, whatever its mileage, service history and use. The like-for-like comparison on the model page is the fairer number.
