The vehicles may not be equipped with an inspection gauge to check the wear of the rear brake pads.

As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 135, "Light Vehicle Brake Systems."
Safety Consequence
Driving with worn brake pads can reduce braking ability, increasing the risk of a crash.
