The problem
Certain passenger vehicles equipped with rear disc brakes fail to conform to the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard (FMVSS) no. 135, "light vehicle brake systems." the length of the rear wheel hub mounting bolts may prevent actuation of the park brake.

This could allow unintended movement of the vehicle under certain conditions and cause a crash without warning.
