What's wrong, in plain English
The brake pedal in these vehicles is held in place by a pin that was not secured correctly. Because of this, the pedal can shift out of its normal position while the vehicle is being driven. When the pedal moves out of place, the driver may not be able to press the brakes the way they normally would, which can affect the vehicle's ability to slow down or stop.
