Recall 2017353

The issue

On certain vehicles, the lock nut that secures the bowden cable to the parking brake lever might loosen over time, which may result in increased parking brake lever travel. Should the parking brake lever travel increase, the parking brake could have less holding force than intended, which could result in unintended vehicle movement, increasing the risk of injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace the lock nut.

Description (français)

Sur certains véhicules, le contre-écrou fixant le câble Bowden au levier du frein de stationnement pourrait se desserrer avec le temps et faire augmenter la course du levier. Si cela se produisait, la force de retenue du frein de stationnement pourrait être inférieure à ce qui est prévu et le véhicule pourrait se déplacer de façon inattendue, augmentant ainsi les risques de blessures ou de dommages matériels (ou les deux). Mesure corrective : Les concessionnaires devront remplacer le contre-écrou.
