Recall 2013299

The issue

On certain vehicles, the brake caliper mounting bolts may have been insufficiently tightened during vehicle assembly. Loose bolts may allow a caliper to detach from its mount, which could result in partial loss of brake function. This could increase stopping distances, possibly resulting in a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will tighten the brake caliper mounting bolts to the specified torque.

Description (français)

Sur certains véhicules, les boulons de fixation des étriers de frein pourraient ne pas avoir été suffisamment serrés pendant le montage du véhicule. Des boulons lâches pourraient permettre à un étrier de se détacher de sa fixation, ce qui pourrait résulter en une perte partielle des freins. Cela pourrait augmenter les distances de freinage, ce qui pourrait résulter en un accident endommageant des biens matériels ou blessant quelqu'un. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront serrer les boulons de fixation des étriers de frein au couple de serrage spécifié.
