What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

AT LOW AMBIENT TEMPERATURE, WITH THE PARKING BRAKE APPLIED ABD THE ENGINE RUNNING, PRESSURE CAN BUILD UP SUFFICIENTLY TO PARTIALLY PRESSURIZE THE BRAKE CHAMBER WHICH CONTROLS THE DDM PARK BRAKE AT THE REAR OF THE TRANSMISSION ALLOWING THE PARKING BRAKE TO PARTIALLY RELEASE.

The risk

IF THE VEHICLE IS PARKED ON A MODERATE INCLINE, THE VEHICLE CAN ROLL AWAY WITHOUT WARNING AND POSSIBLY RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT.

The remedy

DEALERS WILL RE-PLUMB THE HYDRAULIC LINES OF THE HYDRAULIC PARK BRAKE SYSTEM PREVENTING UNINTENTIONAL RELEASE OF THE PARK BRAKE.

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.
