What is wrong
ON CERTAIN VEHICLES, A LOCKNUT ON A BOLT HOLDING THE BRAKE PEDAL LEVER TO THE BRAKE PEDAL BRACKET MAY NOT HAVE BEEN TIGHTENED ENOUGH TO ENGAGE THE LOCKING MECHANISM OF THE NUT. THIS NUT COULD VIBRATE LOOSE, AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WOULD NO LONGER FUNCTION.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
THE NUT WILL BE INSPECTED AND TIGHTENED, IF NECESSARY, TO ENSURE PROPER ENGAGEMENT OF LOCKING MECHANISM OF THE NUT.

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.
