SUBJECT:
PARKING BRAKE CABLE LOCK NUTS - SAFETY RECALL CAMPAIGN
This bulletin supercedes SR-05-001, issued March, 2005, to correct the lock nut inspection and part number information. Revised information is
indicated by >.
PURPOSE
The parking brake cable lock nuts on some affected vehicles may not have been tightened to the proper torque specification. If not tightened properly,
the nuts may loosen and come off, reducing the effectiveness of the parking brake. This condition could allow the vehicle to roll if the transmission is not
in "Park" and the vehicle is parked on a slope, increasing the possibility of a crash.
> Dealers should inspect the parking brake cable lock nut torque as described in this bulletin, replacement is only necessary if the nut is missing or
damaged.
