The issue
On certain vehicles equipped with a manual transmission, the park brake lever clutch drum may distort and reduce the effectiveness of the park brake system. This could allow the vehicle to move inadvertently and cause a crash without any warning. Correction: Dealers will replace the park brake lever assembly.
