IMPROPER DEPTH OF THE PARK BRAKE CAM LEVER SOCKET MAY CAUSE PREMATURE WEAR IN THE SOCKET. PREMATURE WEAR CAN REDUCE THE HOLDING POWER OF THE PARKING BRAKE WHICH CAN LEAD TO THE PARKING BRAKE RELEASING PREMATURELY WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING, ALLOWING THE VEHICLE TO ROLL, RESULTING IN A POSSIBLE CRASH. CORRECTION: STEEL FLAT WASHERS WILL BE INSTALLED IN THE SOCKET FOR PROPER SUPPORT OF THE PARK BRAKE CAM.
