The problem
The parking brake front cables were built longer than appropriate that reduces the performance of the parking brake in certain circumstances, and fails to fully comply with all the requirements of FMVSS no. 105, "hydraulic brake systems."
The risk
Consequence of non-compliance: the effectiveness of the parking brake system on a severe grade May be diminished.
The fix
Dealers will repair the parking brake system on the affected vehicles.
