I have no connection to National Parts Depot (NPD), but I am familiar with the company as I've used their parts in the past.. I took it upon myself to contact them and provided them with a link to this thread.. Today, I received a reply to my email.. Here is a word-for-word reply to my email............

Hello Nicholas,
Here’s what we found..
We had a total of 6 on the shelf here in FL. 4 of them, the hazards pushed-on and pulled-off with normal effort, no problem. 2 did not want to pull-off, just as was reported on the forum thread. BUT… We found that just repeatedly cycling/exercising the hazard switch, within a minute or two, both “tough” switches were operating as smoothly and effortlessly as the “easy” ones. They just needed some breaking-in. Which you shouldn’t have to do out of the box, but it appears to fully remedy the situation.
If you could please relay, I didn’t know how I would be seen as a vendor “invading” your forum to communicate.
Many thanks!!
Rick
NPD
