Issue

On certain vehicles, insufficient clearance through the brake pedal mounting plate can result in improper alignment between the brake pedal assembly and the brake valve actuator. This misalignment could cause the brake valve actuator to become damaged, causing an increase in resistance when depressing the brake pedal, or brake drag when the pedal is released. This could increase vehicle stopping distances and increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Owners will be sent repair instructions and revised parts.
