Defect
The material used for the pillow ball joint holder — which connects the rear wheel brake master cylinder to the brake pedal — is inadequate. When exposed to water containing de-icing agents, the aluminum joint holder corrodes, causing the internal pillow ball to bind. Continued use allows the joint holder and pillow ball to seize completely, making it impossible to operate the brake pedal. Alternatively, if significant force is applied to the brake pedal while the joint holder and pillow ball are seized, the joint holder may fracture, resulting in loss of brake operation.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the complete pillow ball joint assembly with the corrected part.
