What is wrong
Automotive Innovations, Inc. (AII) is recalling certain Electronic Gas/Brake (EGB) systems, produced from January 1, 2000, through July 11, 2012, installed as adaptive equipment on motor vehicles. The equipment was produced without an adequate back-up brake diagnostic system. As such, it may be possible for the driver to operate the vehicle without knowing the back-up brake is malfunctioning.
What can happen
Without the driver being alerted that the back-up brake system has malfunctioned, the driver may continue to operate the vehicle as normal, and if the primary brake system system also fails, braking performance would be reduced increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
AII will notify owners and repair the vehicles free of charge. The safety recall began during September 2012. Owners may cantact AII at 1-508-697-6006.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
