What NHTSA recorded

These trucks were equipped with rear park brake cables which caused limited rear brake shoe travel resulting in the parking brake system not holding the vehicle in the reverse direction when parked on a 20% grade, as required by fmvss 105. Consequence of defect: if the truck is parked on an incline and the parking brake set, it may roll back causing damage or an accident.

Remedy

Replace both rear parking brake cables.
