Details

What's wrong: On certain passenger vehicles, some brake master cylinders may have internal corrosion, resulting in reduced braking performance and increased stopping distances.

Why it matters: The corrosion could eventually cause a complete brake system failure, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Dealers will replace the master cylinder assembly, reservoir, and brake fluid. Owner notification began July 28, 2003. Owners should contact Acura at 1-800-382-2238.
