Summary
Certain vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 135 - Brake Systems. The electronic parking brake may not fully release, which could cause the brakes to drag. In this condition, the parking brake indicator also may not illuminate even though the parking brake is engaged, contrary to the requirements of the standard. Brake drag could affect vehicle acceleration and cause undesired deceleration, excessive brake heat, and premature wear to some brake components. If the brake drag is significant or if the vehicle is operated for an extended period of time in this condition, there is a potential for the rear brakes to generate significant heat, smoke and sparks. Correction: Dealers will update the electronic parking brake software.
Summary
On certain vehicles, the steering gear to steering column intermediate shaft connection bolts and front lower control arm ball joint bolts may not have been tightened to specification. If these bolts were to loosen, a loss of steering control could result, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or property damage. Correction: Dealers will inspect the joints and verify fastener torque.
Summary
On certain vehicles, a buildup of pressure in the brake booster pump wiring harness could dislodge sealing plugs from an electrical connector and allow contaminates to enter the brake booster pump relay connector. This could result in corrosion and cause a short in the connector, potentially resulting in a fire and increasing the risk of injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will affect repairs.
