Service brakes, hydraulic:Pedals and linkages

The involved vehicles may have been assembled with a brake pedal support bracket which was designed for use in diesel engine vehicles. The incorrect bracket may cause the service brakes to remain partially applied, resulting in brake overheating and reduced braking effectiveness.

Remedy: Dealer will inspect vehicles and, if necessary, replace the pedal support bracket at no charge to owner.
