SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC

Published August 21, 2018 · Recall initiated: August 16, 2018

What's the hazard

The rear brake caliper pistons on these vehicles may not have been correctly coated, causing gas to become temporarily released into the rear brake hydraulic circuit, reducing braking performance.
