Description (français)
DÉFAUT: Il se peut que le levier du frein de stationnement mécanique ne dépasse pas suffisamment la position centrale pour rester serré. Si quelque chose ébranle le véhicule, le levier peut se desserrer, ce qui pourrait permettre au véhicule de se déplacer par lui-même. Correction: Le levier du frein de stationnement devra être déposé et remplacé par un levier dont la course dépassera la position centrale de 10 degrés et qui nécessitera 25 lb d'effort pour le desserrer.
