Description (français)

Le ressort tendeur du mécanisme de verrouillage de la poignée du frein d'urgence peut avoir été mal installé. Si c'est le cas, il n'aura pas la traction suffisante et le frein d'urgence risque de se desserrer. Il se peut alors que le véhicule se déplace tout seul et cause un accident. Correction: Un ressort tendeur plus long devra être installé sur le mécanisme de verrouillage de la poignée du frein d'urgence des véhicules visés.
