Official summary
This Technical Service Bulletin instructs dealers how to perform maintenance to resolve cases where the Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) function has not been used in a long time and the brake pads are worn down; when the EPB is operated it may take increased amounts of time to function and exceed the threshold value. As a result, the warning light will illuminate and EPB may become inoperative.* *This phenomenon does not effect the normal brakes.
Vehicles covered
What a TSB means. Technical service bulletins are repair guidance manufacturers send to dealers — they are not recalls, and repairs are not automatically free (warranty extensions are an exception worth checking). The full document is available via NHTSA’s vehicle lookup.
