What’s Wrong
Courier vehicles where the hand brake electrical wiring could get damaged. This could result in the park brake light being illuminated at all times regardless of whether the park brake lever is physically applied. There is a risk that the customer may assume the park brake is applied when it is not increasing the risk of vehicle roll-away. In some cases the park indicator light will not illuminate although the park brake is applied. There is no hand brake function loss due to this issue.
