From owner reports, verbatim
Front brake handle frozen, cannot squeeze . This will not allow me to operate mt front brakes.
While I was driving the rear brakes started to a bite stiff .. when I went to stop I had to apply more pressure then usually.. i felt like the abs started and all of of sudden the brake lever stiffened up and i couldn't press the brakes any longer . I lost my rear brakes .. I'm glad I had my front brakes and I was able to get home driving slowly. But the rear brakes are locked up . I looked up my year 2020 gts 300 model it shows that there is a recall for that situation but when I type in my vin it says it's not a recall on the vin but it's the same issue and year that it's affected ?
