DEFECT #1 - PARKING BRAKE:CONVENTIONAL:MECHANICAL
Posted on: 1991-10-01
Description
The design of the parking brake grip makes it possible to distort the grip and pinch the brake release knob. If the release knob sticks in a partial engage/release position because of the pinched grip, it is possible for the lever to release unintentionally with a corresponding reduction in parking brake force.
Consequence
If the vehicle is not properly parked with thetransmission in the correct position, and if the vehicle is parked on a grade,reduction in parking brake force could lead to unintentional rollaway and anaccident.
Corrective Action
Replace the parking brake grip with a new grip type.
Notes
System: parking brake.vehicle description: passenger cars.
