Recall 1987103

The issue

THE REAR BRAKE CALIPERS COULD BIND AND CONSEQUENTLY OVERHEAT. AN OVERHEATED CALIPER COULD CAUSE THE BRAKE PEDAL TO FEEL SPONGY, AND IN EXTREME CASES, ONE OF THE TWO BRAKE CIRCUITS COULD BECOME INOPERATIVE. THIS WOULD INCREASE STOPPING DISTANCES AND COULD RESULT IN A VEHICLE CRASH. CORRECTION: DEALERS WILL INSPECT AND IF NECESSARY, REPLACE REAR BRAKE CALIPERS. V.I.N. RANGE - WAU**044*G*066981 TO WAU**044*H*072776

Description (français)

Les étriers des freins arrière peuvent gripper et surchauffer. La pédale de frein peut alors devenir spongieuse et un des circuits de freinage risque même de perdre toute efficacité. La défectuosité peut allonger la distance de freinage au point de provoquer un accident.
