What is wrong
IMPROPERLY MACHINED BRAKE PEDAL TO PUSH ROD PIVOT BOLTS HAVE A TENDENCY TO WORK THEMSELVES LOOSE FROM THE RETAINING NUT, WHICH COULD LEAD TO BRAKE FAILURE.
What can happen
IF THE NUT WORKED ITSELF LOOSE, PIVOT BOLT WOULD FALL OUT, LEAVING THE BRAKE PEDAL ASSEMBLY DETACHED FROM THE BRAKE BOOSTER REACTION ROD, WHICH WOULD DISABLE THE HYDRAULIC BRAKE SYSTEM AND LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
REPLACE PIVOT BOLT AND NUT WITH UPGRADED BOLT AND NUT LOCK.

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.
