NHTSA recall 05V342000
Parking Brake · Hyundai Motor America
Details
What's wrong: On certain passenger vehicles, the parking lever ratchet pawl was not properly manufactured and may damage the teeth of the parking lever ratchet. Damaged parking brake lever ratchet teeth may prevent the parking brake from engaging or may allow the parking brake to release after it has been engaged.
Why it matters: The inability to engage or the inadvertent release of the parking brake lever, may allow your vehicle to roll while it is parked and may result in a crash.
The fix: Dealers will replace the parking brake lever assembly. The recall began on September 12, 2005.
