Fix: Dealers will replace the throttle cable support bracket.

Problem: Improperly manufactured brake pedal arm causes the brake pedal arm to fracture during braking.
Risk: This condition can result in a loss of brake operation increasing braking distance and the potential for a vehicle accident.
Fix: Dealers will replace all suspect brake pedal assemblies.
