The defect

On the involved vehicles, the rear rubber seal of the brake master cylinder may prematurely wear. Abnormal air infiltration into the hydraulic system would result, causing self-bleeding difficulty. Also, longer brake pedal travel would be experienced and could lead to partial or total loss of action on the front end brakes.

The remedy

Dealer will replace the brake master cylinder and brake fluid reservoir and install a new type of brake level warning indicator, without charge.
