Overview
| MLIT filing number | 1119170 |
|---|---|
| Type | Statutory Recall (government-mandated recall) |
| Date filed | July 26, 2007 |
| Manufacturer(s) | Mazda |
| Component | Parking brake cable / rod |
| Production period | May 11, 2007 — July 11, 2007 |
| Vehicles affected | 5,658 units |
Defect
The parking brake equalizer — the device that distributes parking brake operating force equally to the left and right wheels — has an excessively wide gap at the brake cable attachment point on some units. This allows the brake cable to enter the gap. In the worst case, when the parking brake is applied, the cable may disengage from the equalizer, reducing parking brake effectiveness.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, re-crimp the equalizer gap to the specified dimension.
