Recall 2002053

The issue

On certain passenger vehicles the brake master cylinder may not function properly in ambient temperatures below freezing (0 deg. C and lower). In temperatures below freezing, the brakes may not release after being applied, even when your foot is no longer on the brake pedal. This can occur without prior warning, possibly resulting in a crash. Correction: Dealers will replace the master cylinders.

Description (français)

Sur certaines voitures de tourisme, il se peut que le maître-cylindre de freinage ne fonctionne pas correctement lorsque la température ambiante est sous le point de congélation. Il se peut donc que les freins ne se desserrent pas quand le conducteur cesse d'appuyer sur la pédale de frein, ce qui risque de provoquer un accident si le problème se produit sans avertissement. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront remplacer le maître-cylindre.
