What is being recalled

THE AUTOMATIC APPLY TRANSMISSION MOUNTED PARKING BRAKE LEVER PIVOT BOLT "FINGER" MAY BE LOOSE.

Why it is dangerous

THE LOOSE PIVOT BOLT COULD ALLOW THE PARKING BRAKES TORELEASE AFTER THEY HAVE BEEN SET MANUALLY; IF THE BOLT FALLS OFF WHEN THEAUTOMATIC APPLY PARKING BRAKE IS SET, THERE IS INSUFFICIENT BRAKING TO HOLD THEVEHICLE IF IT IS PARKED ON AN INCLINE. BOTH OF THESE CONDITIONS COULD RESULT INVEHICLE MOVEMENT WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING AND POSSIBLY IN AN ACCIDENT.

The fix (free at any franchised dealer)

TORQUE PIVOT BOLT TO SPECIFICATIONS.

Recall repairs are always free, regardless of vehicle age or where you bought the car. Quote the campaign number 91V-133 when calling a dealer.
