On certain vehicles, a protective shield, located on the driver's side underbody may interfere with the proper operation of the vehicle park/emergency brake. If this bracket/shield is located too far forward and inboard on the vehicle, or it is not modified in the appropriate manner, it will impede the park/emergency brake bracket and will not allow the park brake to operate properly when leaving the vehicle, and, will not allow the emergency brake to operate properly in the event of an emergency stop situation. Correction: Bracket will be removed and modified so as to prevent interference with the park/emergency brake.
