Filing in context
The Parking Brake Lever/Pedal is the most frequently cited component category in this archive, appearing in 4 of its 4,890 filings. This filing is one of 16 Honda notifications from 2008 in this archive. For scale, 343 of the 4,890 filings in this archive report a larger number of affected vehicles; the vehicles involved here were manufactured over a span of about 1 year and 7 months.
Defect
The ratchet engagement profile that retains the parking brake lever is improperly shaped. Repeated parking brake operation wears down the mating surface on the push rod side, causing the engagement to disengage. As a result, the parking brake lever may fail to hold its set position or may release suddenly.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the complete parking brake lever assembly with a good unit.
