The issue

AN INABILITY TO MAINTAIN PRESSURE IN THE SECONDARY SYSTEM OF THE MASTER CYLINDER AT TEMPERATURES BELOW 4 DEGREES CELSIUS RESULTS IN INCREASED BRAKE PEDAL TRAVEL AND A REDUCTION OF BRAKE PERFORMANCE. THIS COULD RESULT IN INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCES AND A CRASH WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING. CORRECTION: A NEW DESIGN LEVEL MASTER CYLINDER INCORPORATING A REDESIGNED SEAL WILL BE INSTALLED.

Description (français)

En raison de l'incapacité du système à maintenir la pression dans le circuit secondaire du maître cylindre à des températures inférieures à 4 degrés Celsius, la pédale de frein doit être enfoncée davantage et les freins sont moins efficaces, ce qui pourrait entraîner une augmentation des distances d'arrêt et un accident imprévisible.
