The issue
On certain vehicles the brake calipers have received the wrong surface treatment. As a result, when the brake caliper becomes hot, hydrogen gas can form, diminishing braking performance. Correction: Dealers will inspect and replace calipers if necessary.
Description (français)
Les pistons d'étriers de freins de certains véhicules n'ont pas reçu le traitement thermique approprié. Il se peut donc que la surchauffe des étriers provoque la formation d'hydrogène, réduisant ainsi la performance du système de freinage. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront inspecter et remplacer les étriers s'il y a lieu.
