November 30, 2010. 

Supersedes Technical Service Bulletin Group 46 number 08-11 dated November 4, 2008 for reasons listed below.

Affected Vehicles

Condition
Parking brake indicator stays illuminated after releasing the parking brake.

The parking brake completely disengages although the parking brake indicator remains illuminated.

Technical Background

The parking brake damper can become weak over time. When releasing the parking brake, the pedal may not return to the end stop position, and the
parking brake indicator will stay illuminated.

Production Solution

The amount of oil in the damper was reduced and the pressure increased.

Service

Replace the parking brake damper as described below.

Tip: Do not replace the entire parking brake assembly.

Tip: Removal of trim panels is not necessary for the parking brake dampener replacement.
