NOTE: THIS RECALL AFFECTS VEHICLES WITH MANUAL TRANSMISSION.rnTHE PARKING BRAKE CONTROL SELF-ADJUST PAWL MAY SKIP OVER ONE OR MORE TEETH IN THE SELF-ADJUST RATCHET DURING PARKING BRAKE APPLICATION, WHICH COULD PREVENT THE SYSTEM FROM ACHIEVING FULL TENSION. THIS COULD RESULT IN PARKING BRAKE INEFFECTIVENESS WHICH WOULD ALLOW THE VEHICLE TO ROLL FREELY IF IT IS NOT LEFT IN GEAR. CORRECTION: A WEDGE WILL BE INSTALLED WHICH WILL SERVE TO LOCK THE PARKING BRAKE SELF-ADJUST MECHANISM PAWL INTO ENGAGEMENT WITH THE RATCHET.
