Defect
The cable operated Park Brake Lever (in red) has been manufactured in a way that may cause it to fail in some circumstances. The electrically activated service Brake is not affected.
What is safe to do with the vehicle?
As the electronically activated Service Brake is un-affected, it is safe to tow a vehicle fitted with the Brake.
Extreme caution must be taken when disconnecting the trailer from the tow vehicle because if the Park Brake is being applied and the Lever fails, the trailer may move in an uncontrolled manner.
The Park Brake must not be the only way in which any vehicle fitted with the Brake is held or secured. We strongly recommend when the trailer is not attached to the tow vehicle that wheel chocks are used to secure the vehicle, until the replacement Lever has been fitted.
Let me emphasise it is safe to tow the Caravan, Camper or Trailer with these affected parts, the affected Park Brake Lever contributes to the Park Brake function only.
