NHTSA recall 00V349000
Parking Brake · Ford Motor Company
Details
What's wrong: If a vehicle is parked with the parking brake not fully applied and not in first gear, as directed in the owner guide, and the self adjustment pawl subsequently skips one or two teeth, the vehicle could move on some grades.
Why it matters: This could result in unintended vehicle movement and a vehicle crash without prior warning.
The fix: Dealers will modify the parking brake control and install a plate or over-bracket to the control to lock the self adjust mechanism in position following adjustment.
