The issue
On certain vehicles, a defect in the modulated spring brake valve casting may cause an intermittent delay in the application of the park brake. This could cause the vehicle to roll away without warning, possibly causing personal injury. Correction: Dealers will inspect valves for a suspect date code and cavity number. Defective valves will be replaced.
