The problem
THE PARKING BRAKE LEVER MOUNTING BRACKET MAY BEND AND BREAK DUE TO REPEATED APPLICATIONS OF THE PARKING BRAKE. THIS WILL CREATE A TEARING FORCE AT THE BOLT MOUNTING AREA OF THE BRACKET.
What owners should do
BENT OR CRACKED MOUNTING BRACKETS WILL BE REPLACED AND A REINFORCEMENT STRAP WILL BE ADDED TO LIMIT THE "LIFT AND PULL" FORCE ON THE BRACKET. THIS WILL BE DONE WITHOUT CHARGE TO OWNER.
