Handbrake may not apply correctly. Due to an inadequate hardening process, it is possible that the pawl plate in the top of the handbrake valve can be subjected to premature wear. This can, in extremes, affect the operation of the handbrake and possible result in a vehicle roll away.
Recall all affected vehicles and replace the handbrake valve. Vehicle ID: YV3T2S921CA157916 to YV3S4R124DA160420
