Kawai let-off

I tuned a kawai KG-1 today. It's a gray market piano...two pedals. 
There was very little let-off and in some cases, no let-off.

Anyone hear of possible "growing action brackets" in Kawais in a manner
similar to Webber action brackets?

This women paid $6,000 for this piano. It needs regulation and has very
marginal tuning pin torque. We have a tech around here who sells these
gray market pianos. Unfortunately, most of them that I service need
work...especially the grands.  I'm sure the women is none too happy.
She's had the piano one year.
