Parking Brake — Conventional — Mechanical

Summary

If the release knob sticks in a partial engage/release position because of the pinched grip, it is possible for the lever to release unintentionally with a corresponding reduction in parking brake force.

Actions

Replace the parking brake grip with a new grip type.
