Recall 2018502

The issue

On certain vehicles equipped with manual transmissions, components within the control unit for the electronic parking brake (EPB) may crack with vehicle use over time. If this were to occur, the brake warning lamp would illuminate and the EPB may not apply as intended. This could result in the unintended movement of a parked vehicle, increasing the risk of crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace the Parking Brake Actuator with a more durable one.

Description (français)

Sur certains véhicules munis d'une boîte de vitesses manuelle, des pièces dans l'unité de commande du frein de stationnement électronique (FSE) pourraient se fissurer à la longue. Si cela se produisait, le voyant d'avertissement du frein s'allumerait, et le FSE pourrait pas ne pas se serrer comme prévu. Cela pourrait causer le déplacement subit d'un véhicule stationné, ce qui augmente les risques d'un accident blessant quelqu'un ou endommageant des biens matériels. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront remplacer le dispositif d'actionnement du frein de stationnement par un dispositif plus durable.
