Recall 2002031

The issue

Certain passenger vehicles equipped with automatic transaxles. These vehicles were assembled with an inadequate weld at the brake pedal pad to brake pedal actuator arm assembly. During braking, the brake pedal pad could separate from the brake pedal actuator arm. If this were to occur, the driver's foot could become dislodged from the pedal resulting in a loss of brake system application and a vehicle crash could occur. Correction: Dealers will inspect and if necessary replace the brake pedal assembly.

Description (français)

Sur certaines voitures de tourisme équipées de la boîte-pont automatique, les soudures ont été mal faites entre le patin de la pédale de frein et le bras de commande de la pédale. Au cours d'un freinage, il se peut que le patin se détache du bras de commande et que le pied du conducteur glisse de la pédale. Vu que les freins ne seront plus appliqués, le conducteur risque d'avoir un accident. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront inspecter et, s'il y a lieu, remplacer la pédale de frein.
