What owners wrote
The car (hyundai veloster 2013, manual transmission, production date may 3, 2012) was parked on a small hill, with the hand brake pulled all the way. Apparently the hand brake failed, the car rolled downhill hitting a fence.
At approximately 75,000 miles, the parking brake began to fail. This is a serious safety issue considering that the vehicle utilizes a manual transmission and will roll if parked on any inclined surface. This issue was addressed under the NHTSA campaign id number 12v567000, but only included replacement of the parking brake linkage and cable (the wording in campaing 12v567000 states that dealers "will replace the rear brake caliper assemblies free of charge").
