Defect Involved


General Motors has determined that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in 1982-86 Chevrolet Camaro model vehicles equipped with rear disc brakes (RPO J65) and manual transmissions. These vehicles may exhibit a lack of park brake automatic adjustment leading to reduced parking brake effectiveness.

To correct this condition, all involved vehicles will have an improved design rear brake caliper actuator installed. Other repairs to restore park brake functions to proper operation may also be made in conjunction with this campaign.
