NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

THE INVOLVED VEHICLES DO NOT CONFORM TO FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 105, "HYDRAULIC BRAKE SYSTEMS", DUE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL HEIGHT BEING ADJUSTED LOWER THAN SPECIFICATIONS. IF A VEHICLE HAS SUCH A MISADJUSTMENT IT COULD ALSO EXPERIENCE PARTIAL BRAKE SYSTEM DISABLEMENT.

The remedy

DEALER WILL INSPECT FOR BRAKE PEDAL HEIGHT AND ADJUST, IF NECESSARY, AT NO COST TO OWNER.

Notes

VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER VEHICLES.SYSTEM: SERVICE BRAKES; BRAKE PEDAL.CONSEQUENCES OF DEFECT: THE COMBINATION OF BOTH OF THESE FACTORS COULD RESULTIN LONGER STOPPING DISTANCES, LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL, AND AN ACCIDENT.

A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
