Details

What's wrong: The brake master cylinder can leak brake fluid due to a damaged double lip rear piston seal.

Why it matters: Brake fluid leakage can result in diminished effectiveness of one half of the split brake system. The instrument panel warning light(s) will signal system impairment prior to partial brake system loss.

The fix: Dealers will replace the rear brake master cylindr piston assembly.
