Porsche put us thru this with with the notorious cam timing chain tensioners that failed with disasterous consequences if you were at high rpm. Fortunately my 911 went slowly, albeit noisily.
And a stop-lite failure would probably not be catastrophic. Porsche finally fixed the problem with additional lubrication, but it was in the mid-80s (MY84 Ronzi said in earlier post)
