What NHTSA recorded
Some of these vehicles were manufactured with weak rear brake control inner lever arm and pivot shafts. As a result, excessive pressure will be needed on the brake pedal to stop the vehicle.
Remedy
The dealer will replace existing lever arms and pivot shafts with reinforced ones.
