- Published by: NHTSA \(United States\)
- Campaign number: 05V287000
- Manufacturer's number: 05059

- Reported: 2005\-06\-20

## What is wrong

CERTAIN SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES FAIL TO CONFORM TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 135, 'PASSENGER CAR BRAKE SYSTEMS.'  TO MEET THE STANDARD, THE VEHICLE MUST NOT MOVE FOR FIVE MINUTES WHEN STOPPED ON A STEEP HILL WITH THE PARKING BRAKE APPLIED AND THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL \(N\).  SOME OF THESE VEHICLES FAILED THIS TEST.


## What can happen

WHEN THE PARKING BRAKE IS RELEASED, THE DRIVER MAY NOTICE UNINTENDED BRAKING WHEN ACCELERATING, DECELERATING, OR COASTING, AND A NOISE COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE.  UNINTENDED VEHICLE MOVEMENT COULD OCCUR INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.


## The remedy

DEALERS WILL INSPECT FOR PARKING BRAKE LEVER SLIPPAGE AT EACH REAR BRAKE CALIPER AND REPLACE THE CALIPER IF LEVER SLIPPAGE IS IDENTIFIED.  THE RECALL BEGAN ON NOVEMBER 14, 2005.  OWNERS MAY CONTACT BUICK AT 1\-866\-608\-8080, CHEVROLET AT 1\-800\-630\-2438, PONTIAC AT 1\-800\-620\-7668, OR SATURN AT 1\-800\-972\-8876.
