Correction: Dealers will replace the hand parking brake cable connector clips with properly heat treated brake cable clips and ensure the parking brake is adjusted to specification.
A failure of this component (brakes) may increase the risk of a crash or injury.
Authorized dealerships will inspect the vehicle and complete all necessary repairs free of charge (parts and labor).
