The issue
On certain vehicles, excessive enlargement of a pilot hole in the rear backing plate could allow the wheel cylinder to rotate possibly leading to loss of rear braking action.
Description (français)
Sur certains véhicules, un élargissement excessif du trou de guidage dans la plaque de support des freins des roues arrière peut entraîner la rotation du cylindre des freins et une perte du freinage arrière.
