The problem
THE PARKING BRAKES MAY HAVE CRACKS IN THE BRAKE ACTUATING CAM AND LEVER OF THE BRAKE ASSEMBLY. FAILURE OF THE CRACKED PART FROM REPEATED BRAKE APPLICATIONS WILL CAUSE THE PARKING BRAKES TO BE INOPERATIVE. CONSEQUENCE OF DEFECT: PARKING BRAKE FAILURE COULD OCCUR AFTER THE BRAKE HAS BEEN SET AND THE VEHICLE IS LEFT UNATTENDED. IN THIS SITUATION, THE PARKED VEHICLE COULD ROLL AWAY AND CRASH WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING.
What owners should do
