Most companies will only issue a recall when the pay outs and lawsuits is likely to outweigh the cost of the recall.

I have to apply mine several times to the last click before it will actually hold the jeep and even then it only just works.

Having moved from a TJ to a JK after 13 years, my JK handbrake is a 1000x better. However, I can still not rely on it to hold the JK in place.

Its typical of rear disc brake car handbrakes....none of them are really effective.
Mine works, but needs a really good pull to hold on a hill....which it will.
