What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

VEHICLES WERE BUILT WITH INCORRECT BRAKE PEDAL ASSEMBLIES. THE PRESSURE REQUIRED TO STOP THESE VEHICLES WITHIN THE REQUIRED STOPPING DISTANCE EXCEEDS THE REQUIREMENTS OF FMVSS NO. 105, "HYDRAULIC BRAKE SYSTEMS."

The risk

CONSEQUENCE OF NON-COMPLIANCE: BRAKING ABILITY INCREASES STOPPING DISTANCE AND COULD RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT.

The remedy

DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE BRAKE PEDAL ASSEMBLY WITH A REVISED ASSEMBLY.

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.
