    CORROSION MAY FORM AROUND THE PARKING BRAKE ACTUATING SHAFT AND CAUSE REDUCED HANDBRAKE PERFORMANCE

    Defect

    On the subject vehicles corrosion may form around the parking brake actuating shaft within the rear brake caliper. This could cause the handbrake to become difficult to operate (greater force required at the lever) or in some cases prevent the parking brake assembly from applying sufficient force at the rear wheels and cause a failure to hold the vehicle. Insufficient force to hold vehicle stationary causing unintentional and unexpected movement of the vehicle.

    Remedy

    Inspect the parking brake actuation lever. If no corrosion is found replace the protective boot with a modified assembly. If corrosion is found on the actuating shaft replace the brake caliper.

    AIRBAG MAY MALFUNCTION

    Defect

    It has been identified that the density of the propellant within the airbag inflator may be insufficient due to inappropriate production and storage conditions of the propellant. In this condition the inflator may abnormally ignite at the time of the airbag deployment allowing the inner pressure of the inflator to increase abnormally resulting in the breakage of the inflator case. In this condition the airbags will not provide adequate protection during a frontal impact as the broken pieces of the inflator case could injure the driver and/or front seat passenger.

    Remedy

    Recall all affected vehicles to replace the driver and passenger front airbag inflators with modified units.
