Defect
The VDC (Vehicle Dynamics Control) unit contains an incorrect electric parking brake control program. When the electric parking brake is applied while the vehicle is parked and the ignition switch is then cycled from off to on after a set period of time, the electric parking brake motor may continue to run without stopping. This continuous operation can damage the motor, resulting in a condition where the electric parking brake cannot be released.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, reprogram the VDC unit software.
