Details

What's wrong: An incompatibility can exist between the mineral oil supplied by castrol and the hydraulic brake system of these vehicles.

Why it matters: The brake pedal feel can vary, especially following a prolonged period of inactivity and higher pedal pressure may be required. This condition can cause a loss of braking capability and increase the potential for a vehicle accident.

The fix: Dealers will drain the hydraulic system and refill the system with new mineral oil. The affected spare bottles will also be replaced.
