Details
What's wrong: On certain sport utility vehicles, contamination of an anti-lock braking system (ABS) sensor can cause the ABS electronic control unit (ECU) to incorrectly interpret the sensor signal, resulting in inappropriate ABS activation.
Why it matters: This can lead to an increase in braking distance that is unanticipated by the driver.
The fix: Dealers will install a new ECU. Owner notification began March 6, 2002.
