MAZDA Mazda6 ( 31/07/2012 – 18/11/2014) DEFECT: On the subject vehicles corrosion may form around the parking brake actuating shaft within the rear brake caliper. This could cause the handbrake to become difficult to operate (greater force required at the lever) or in some cases prevent the parking brake assembly from applying sufficient force at the rear wheels and cause a failure to hold the vehicle. Insufficient force to hold vehicle stationary causing unintentional and unexpected movement of the vehicle.
Remedy
Inspect the parking brake actuation lever. If no corrosion is found replace the protective boot with a modified assembly. If corrosion is found on the actuating shaft replace the brake caliper.
