Recall 1985142

The issue

THE HYDRAULIC PARKING BRAKE CONTROL VALVE MAY INADVERTENTLY ACTIVATE DUE TO MOMENTARY PRESSURE DISRUPTION IN THE HYDRAULIC PARKING BRAKE SYSTEM, RESULTING IN THE APPLICATION OF THE REAR AXLE BRAKES. SHOULD THIS OCCUR WHILE THE VEHICLE IS BEING OPERATED ON A SLIPPERY OR LOOSE-MATERIAL ROAD SURFACE, THE POTENTIAL FOR LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL WOULD EXIST. ALSO, SINCE THE PARKING BRAKE SYSTEM DOES NOT ACTUATE THE BRAKE STOP LIGHTS, THE RISK OF A REAR IMPACT WOULD BE INCREASED.

Description (français)

Le robinet de commande du frein de stationnement hydraulique peut être actionné, par inadvertence, par suite d'une interruption momentanée de la pression dans le circuit de freinage; d'où application des freins de l'essieu arrière. Si cela se produit pendant que le véhicule circule sur une route glissante ou sur une voie non pavée (gravier), le conducteur peut perdre la maîtrise du véhicule. En outre, le freinage ayant eu lieu sans que les feux arrières ne s'allument, les risques d'une collision arrière sont augmentés.
