Hazard
In the braking system, the shaft serving as the brake pedal pivot point and its lightweight alloy shaft holder have improper fitting. Repeated brake operation can cause the shaft to gradually slip out, creating play at the brake pedal mounting location. In the worst case, the component may disengage entirely, rendering brake operation impossible.
