What NHTSA recorded

Some wagons were assembled with a ja2 rear system instead of the ja3 brake system. These station wagons may exceed the maximum stopping distance required by fmvss 105. Consequence of defect: a crash could occur without prior warning should a stopping distance conforming with fmvss 105 be required while the vehicle is in motion.

Remedy

Install correct brake system.
