THE AFFECTED VEHICLES ARE EQUIPPED WITH A SELF\-ADJUST PARK\-BRAKE SYSTEM. THE SELF\-ADJUSTING PARK\-BRAKE SYSTEM ON THESE VEHICLES MEETS ALL RELEVANT REGULATORY STANDARDS FOR PARK\-BRAKE PERFORMANCE. BUT IF A DRIVER PARKS A VEHICLE WITH THESE FEATURES ON A SLOPE AND EXITS THE VEHICLE WITHOUT \(I\) FIRMLY ENGAGING THE PARK BRAKE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE OWNER’S MANUAL INSTRUCTIONS AND \(II\) ENGAGING THE TRANSMISSION IN GEAR, THE VEHICLE COULD ROLL AWAY AND CAUSE A CRASH.
