Details

What's wrong: The brake reservoir label was omitted. This does not comply with the requirements of fmvss no. 135, "passenger car brake systems."

Why it matters: Without this label, someone may use the incorrect specification brake fluid, get dirt into the reservoir, or allow moisture into the brake fluid, resulting in less effective braking and possibly a crash.

The fix: Owners will be mailed labels and installation instructions.
