Details

On certain vehicles, a securing clip at the brake pedal hinge may have become dislodged during vehicle assembly.

This could allow the pivot pin to move out of position, which would allow the pedal to wobble, and could fracture the brake pedal pivot through continued use.

A fractured hinge would allow the pedal to separate from its pivot, which could lead to impaired brake function and increase stopping distances, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property.

Correction: Dealers will inspect and add a securing clip as necessary.
