Details

Certain vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 135 - Brake Systems.

During the manufacturing process, the parking brake controller assembly bracket may have been improperly formed.

This could result in the pawl to not engage the sector gear during actuation and the parking brake not fully engaging.

If the transmission is in Park, there will be no unintended vehicle movement.

If the transmission is left in a gear other than Park, and the vehicle is parked on a sufficient slope, a non-functioning parking brake could result in unintended vehicle movement, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or property damage.

Correction: Dealers will inspect, and if necessary, replace the parking brake control assembly.
