The Tass report continued: “The recall will cover vehicles manufactured between May and September of 2016, the regulator said.
” ’The reasons for recalling vehicles: in some cases, underperformance of the parking brake is possible. All vehicles will be checked and, if necessary, rear brake calipers will be replaced,’ the regulator said.”
According to both the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and Australia’s Product Safety Australia, corrosion of the brake-operating shaft could result in the parking brake failing.
As in all markets, the repairs will be performed at no cost to dealers or owners. Repairing the problem includes replacing the brake caliper assembly.
