Small stones or other road debris can become trapped between the rear brake pedal and guard and prevent the pedal from fully releasing. This can cause overheating potentially leading to rear brake damage and lock up or failure of the rear brake. On 1400GTR ABS models with K-ACT the front brake may also be affected because it is linked with rear brake operation.
