The issue
THE HYDRAULIC PARKING BRAKE CONTROL VALVE MAY INADVERTENTLY ACTIVATE DUE TO MOMENTARY PRESSURE DISRUPTION IN THE HYDRAULIC PARKING BRAKE SYSTEM, RESULTING IN THE APPLICATION OF THE REAR AXLE BRAKES. SHOULD THIS OCCUR WHILE THE VEHICLE IS BEING OPERATED ON A SLIPPERY OR LOOSE-MATERIAL ROAD SURFACE, THE POTENTIAL FOR LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL WOULD EXIST. ALSO, SINCE THE PARKING BRAKE SYSTEM DOES NOT ACTUATE THE BRAKE STOP LIGHTS, THE RISK OF A REAR IMPACT WOULD BE INCREASED.
