REASON FOR THIS SAFETY RECALL
Some of the above vehicles may have been built with a Hydraulic Control Unit (HCU/ABS) Anti-lock Brake System module that falsely reads pressure in the primary circuit. An HCU/ABS module that falsely reads pressure in the primary circuit may illuminate the brake lights, as well as allows the vehicle to start and shift out of park without the brake pedal being depressed. This condition can result in unintended vehicle movement and cause a vehicle crash without prior warning and/or injury to others outside the vehicle.
