The hazard
On certain vehicles, the parking brake assembly may not hold the vehicle in position when set. Factors contributing to this possibility are as follows: 1. Cracked or broken cams; 2. Loose or broken anchor bolts; 3. Initial shoe diameter not set properly during assembly, which can lead to progressive component damage; 4. Bent adjuster levers that cannot function; 5. Automatic adjuster cables that are disconnected. If this parking brake does not function properly, the vehicle may begin to roll, without warning, after the parking brake lever has been set and could cause an accident, possibly resulting in property damage, personal injury or death. Correction: Dealers will replace the cam, lever and bolt on all affected vehicles.
