The defect

The parking brake lever may not travel far enough over center to assure that it remains in the proper position allowing the vehicle to roll away while parked.

The risk

If the vehicle IS not properly parked with the transmission in the correct position, and if the vehicle IS parked on a grade, it could unintentionally roll away increasing the potential for an accident.

The remedy

Dealers will remove and replace the parking brake lever with a lever that requires a 25 lb. Effort to release.
