Details

What's wrong: On certain passenger vehicles, one of four seals inside the master cylinder may have been installed improperly. As a result, the master cylinder may unexpectedly by-pass hydraulic braking force pressure and allow a longer than normal pedal stroke.

Why it matters: Should this condition occur, the braking distance required to stop the vehicle may increase and could lead to a vehicle crash.

The fix: Dealers will replace the master cylinder assembly free of charge. The recall began June 28, 2005.
