What is wrong
AT LOW AMBIENT TEMPERATURE, WITH THE PARKING BRAKE APPLIED ABD THE ENGINE RUNNING, PRESSURE CAN BUILD UP SUFFICIENTLY TO PARTIALLY PRESSURIZE THE BRAKE CHAMBER WHICH CONTROLS THE DDM PARK BRAKE AT THE REAR OF THE TRANSMISSION ALLOWING THE PARKING BRAKE TO PARTIALLY RELEASE.
What can happen
IF THE VEHICLE IS PARKED ON A MODERATE INCLINE, THE VEHICLE CAN ROLL AWAY WITHOUT WARNING AND POSSIBLY RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
DEALERS WILL RE-PLUMB THE HYDRAULIC LINES OF THE HYDRAULIC PARK BRAKE SYSTEM PREVENTING UNINTENTIONAL RELEASE OF THE PARK BRAKE.

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.
