## What is wrong

A COTTER PIN IN THE BRAKE PEDAL TO BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER  LINKAGE ASSEMBLY MAY BE MISSING.  THIS PIN ACTS AS A RETAINER FOR THE BRAKE      MASTER CYLINDER PUSHROD CLEVIS PIN.                                                                                                                               CONSEQUENCE OF DEFECT: THE CLEVIS PIN MAY SLIDE OUT CAUSING THE MASTER           CYLINDER/BRAKE PEDAL LINKAGE TO BECOME DISENGAGED.  IF THIS LINKAGE BECOMES      DISENGAGED THE SERVICE BRAKES CANNOT BE APPLIED, CREATING THE RISK OF A CRASH    WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING.


## The remedy

INSPECT AND INSTALL BRAKE LINKAGE COTTER PIN AS NECESSARY.


## Notes

SYSTEM: BRAKE LINKAGE COTTER PIN. VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER CARS.
