What NHTSA recorded

A mismatched or improperly machined hand brake ratchet and plunger was installed on certain vehicles. The hand brake, when applied, may release when slight downward pressure is applied to the top of the lever. Sudden release of the hand brake could cause the vehicle to roll away.

Remedy

Dealer will inspect, and, if necessary, replace the ratchet and plunger of the hand brake system without charge to owner.
