What NHTSA recorded

The parking brake lever mounting bracket may bend and break due to repeated applications of the parking brake. This will create a tearing force at the bolt mounting area of the bracket.

Remedy

Bent or cracked mounting brackets will be replaced and a reinforcement strap will be added to limit the "lift and pull" force on the bracket. This will be done without charge to owner.
