Details

What's wrong: On certain sport utility vehicles, the material used to manufacture the front disc brake calipers may be brittle due to improper metallurgy.

Why it matters: This could cause fracture of the brake caliper and subsequent unexpected partial loss of braking force, which could result in a vehicle crash.

The fix: Dealers will inspect and replace the front brake caliper if necessary free of charge. The recall began on April 10, 2006.
