24 Jun 2014Defect
It is possible that during the manufacturing test of the Hand Brake Valve that damage occurred to the handle locker. It is then feasible that the handle locker could come to rest in an unsecured position which could subsequently allow the handle to move to the released/drive position and result in a vehicle roll-away.
Remedy
Recall all effected unit and check for damage. If found to be damaged replace the hand brake valve with a new quality assured item.
