Recall 2005188

The issue

On certain vehicles, the internal seals in the brake master cylinder may have been installed incorrectly. As a result, the master cylinder may unexpectedly bypass braking force pressure and allow a longer than normal pedal stroke. Should this condition occur, the brake distance required to stop the vehicle will increase and may lead to a vehicle crash. Correction: Dealers will replace the brake master cylinder.

Description (français)

Sur certains véhicules, les joints d'étanchéité internes du maître-cylindre de freinage peuvent avoir été installés incorrectement. En conséquence, le maître-cylindre peut faire dévirer la pression de freinage sans avertissement et permettre une course plus longue qu'à l'habitude sur la pédale de frein. Si c'est le cas, la distance de freinage requise pour immobiliser le véhicule augmentera, ce qui peut provoquer un accident. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront remplacer le maître-cylindre de freinage.
