What NHTSA recorded

The involved vehicles may have been incorrectly equipped with manual brakes instead of power brakes. Consequently, a non-compliance to federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 105, "hydraulic brake systems", may exist.

Remedy

Dealer will remove the manual brake components and install power brake components on all involved vehicles, without charge.
