Details

What's wrong: The brake fluid may be contaminated, which can cause the brake master cylinder inner-cup seals to swell, and reduce braking performance.

Why it matters: Reduced braking performance can extend the distance required to stop the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Dealers will replace the brake master cylinder, and flush the brake fluid, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on December 24, 2021.
