Defect
The harness connector for the electric parking brake is made from an unsuitable resin material, which may cause the connector to crack under the influence of road de-icing agents. Vehicle vibration can then cause the connector to disengage, illuminating a warning light, and resulting in the electric parking brake failing to engage or failing to release.
Corrective action
Inspect the harness connector on all vehicles and, where applicable, install a retention clip to prevent disconnection.
