Details

What's wrong: On certain passenger vehicles and limousines, the low pressure brake fluid feed pipe between the master cylinder and remote reservoir has the potential to trap or retain air.

Why it matters: This air could enter the master cylinder causing excessive pedal travel and partial failure of the primary circuit, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Dealers will replace both hoses and brake fluid reservoir. Owner notification began July 19, 2002.
