Check your own vehicle. A recall applies only to vehicles within the affected build range. Enter your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls. Recall repairs are free at a franchised dealer.

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.
