Concern

Parking brake may not release correctly

Defect, as DVSA words it

An improperly manufactured internal caliper gear may fail. This may cause the EPB not to release and in some circumstances not to apply. An EPB warning light and message should appear.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

On affected vehicles replace the brake caliper.
