Details

What's wrong: The brake fluid level sensor may not be properly configured after a body control module (bcm) service update, resulting in a constantly illuminated brake fluid level warning light that can conceal a low brake fluid condition.

Why it matters: An undetected low brake fluid condition can lead to a loss of braking function, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Dealers will update the body control module (bcm) software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed July 12, 2024.
