On certain vehicles, the jam nuts on the brake pushrod between the pedal and the brake valve may not have been tightened, which could cause the brake pedal pushrod to become misadjusted. This could result in gradual loss in braking performance or a complete loss of brakes leading to a possible vehicle crash without prior warning. Correction: Dealers will tighten the jam nuts to the proper torque value.
