Issue

Certain vehicles may have been manufactured with an incorrect synchronization valve. If the driver were to release the park brake without first firmly applying the service brake, the park brake could subsequently engage unexpectedly while the vehicle is in motion, at any speed. An unintended park brake application without brake light illumination would result, which could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will install a park brake synchronization valve which will prevent the application of the park brake under those circumstances.
