--------- Some owners of 1990-92 F cars may comment that the self adjusting park brake hand lever may slip during apply, requiring the driver to reapply the parking brake. After the lever is applied, it will continue to hold the vehicle properly.
----- Occasionally, some parking brake assemblies equipped with the self adjust feature may create early loading of the cable system and in turn may not allow full engagement of the adjuster pawl and sector teeth.
---------- Replace the parking brake hand lever assembly with redesigned lever, P/N 10198354 per Section 5 of the appropriate Service Manual.
Parts are currently available from GMSPO.

General Motors bulletins are intended for use by professional technicians, not a "do-it-yourselfer". They are written to inform those technicians of conditions that may occur on some vehicles, or to provide information that could assist in the proper service of a vehicle. Properly trained technicians have the equipment, tools, safety instructions and know-how to do a job properly and safely. If a condition is described, do not assume that the bulletin applies to your vehicle, or that your vehicle will have that condition. See a General Motors dealer servicing your brand of General Motors vehicle for information on whether your vehicle may benefit from the information.
