On certain vehicles, infiltration of moisture and road grime into the parking brake mechanism may eventually lead to corrosion and failure. As such, this may result in rear brake noise, the parking brake not releasing, or the inability to properly apply the parking brake. Should the vehicle be parked on a sufficient slope, the inability to apply the parking brake could result in unintended vehicle movement, which could cause a crash resulting in property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will replace the rear brake caliper assemblies.
The wording above is the department's own, as it stood in the monthly file this site last read. Vehicle counts are the sum of the counts published for each make and model the recall covers. To act on a recall, use the official notice: Transport Canada recall 2012419.
