What NHTSA recorded
The pushrod may have been incorrectly mounted to the lower of two holes in the brake pedal assembly. Incorrect mounting can cause sideload forces to be applied to the pushrod, causing the pushrod to fracture.
Remedy
Vehicle will be inspected for correct (upper hole) pushrod mounting. Mismounted pushrods will be replaced and correctly mounted. The lower hole will be blocked to prevent future mistakes, without charge to owner.
