Risk level

Type
Injuries
Category
Motor vehicles
Hazard
The position sensor of the parking brake actuator is at the wrong angle, causing the stopping pin to be incorrectly placed in the ‘P lock’ position and resulting in the parking brake not properly engaging when the P button is pressed on the transmission selector, when the engine is switched off, when the driver’s safety-belt is released or when the driver door is opened. This increases the risk of accidents and injuries, although the Assisted Parking Brake (APB) remains functional and allows the vehicle to be immobilised.

What should I do? Take your car to a Dacia dealer right away. Ask your dealer or a mechanic to check the parking brake.
