Defect
In the pneumatic parking brake system, the air chamber's air-relief mechanism is improperly designed, allowing mud and water to enter the chamber. This blocks the vent hole and causes the piston O-ring to twist, allowing air to leak into the spring chamber. The resulting pressure buildup in the spring chamber prevents the piston from returning fully, leaving the parking brake incompletely released. In the worst case, brake fade may occur. (Note: This notification adds newly affected vehicles to the recall filed on August 1, 2002, as Notification No. 859.)
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the air chamber with the corrected part.
