Component:
Parking brake:conventional
Affected:
106
Defect:
These vehicles do not comply with fmvss 105, "hydraulic brake systems." the parking brake application force for a foot operated control system should not exceed 125 pounds to hold the vehicle on a 30% grade. interference between the parking brake pedal and a wire harness may increase the needed pedal force to greater than 125 pounds to set the parking brake to hold the vehicle on the 30% grade.
Consequence:
The interference between the foot pedal and the wireharness may not allow the parking brake to fully set. if this occurs when thevehicle is parked on an incline, it may roll, causing a crash.
Correction:
Final stage manufacturers will be informed of this condition and provided with parts and instructions necessary to correct this situation.
