IN ADDITION, THIS CONDITION COULD EVENTUALLY LEAD TO SEPARATION OF THE BRAKE HYDRAULIC UNIT FROM ITS MOUNTING BRACKETS RESULTING IN BRAKE LOSS AND A POSSIBLE VEHICLE CRASH.

Description (français)

Il est possible que le serrage des boulons de montage du servofrein soit insuffisant. Le montage peut se desserrer, causant ainsi une augmentation de la course de la pédale ou une sensation de pédale spongieuse. Par la suite, le servofrein pourra se dégager de son support; il en résulterait une perte de freinage et un accident serait probable.
