Dans certaines conditions de freinage rigoureuses inhabituelles, le clapet au centre du maître-cylindre peut se détériorer; à la longue, les freins avant peuvent perdre toute efficacité. La défectuosité se manifesté par une course accrue de la pédale de frein; par ailleurs, elle allonge la distance de freinage, ce qui peut entraîner un accident dans certaines circontances.
