Defective Parking Brake System
Industries work hard to prevent defective products from reaching the market. The automotive industry in particular must be wary of defective products due to the high risk of serious injury or death to consumers if a product does not perform to the required specifications. Important systems like parking brakes have dire consequences if they malfunction or are defective.
Defective parking brakes can cause automobiles to move unexpectedly, resulting in collisions or possibly rolling over pedestrians or others in the way of the vehicle.
