Brakes#2016110March 4, 2016
207 units affected
On certain vehicles, the metal connecting clip that attaches the hand operated parking brake actuator cable to the intermediate parking brake may have been produced at the lower end of the hardness specification during manufacturing, and could fail. Unintended release of the parking brake without warning may result in the vehicle potentially rolling away, which could result in a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace the hand parking brake cable connector clips with properly heat treated brake cable clips and ensure the parking brake is adjusted to specification.
