Reason

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.
