- Consequence:
- If the stop/tail/turn light is not illuminated, the driver's intentions would not be communicated, which increases the risk of a crash.

- Consequence:
- If the latch plate remains partially engaged after the button is pressed, egress from the vehicle could be hindered which would increase the risk of injury in the event of an emergency.
