Recall 2015068

The issue

On certain vehicles equipped with a hydraulic brake booster, an incorrect switch may have been installed, potentially disabling brake warning lights in the instrument panel. As a result, warning lights may fail to illuminate in the event of a reduction in brake power assist, causing an unexpected increase in braking effort, which could increase stopping distances and increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will install the correct switch.

Description (français)

Sur certains véhicules munis d'un servofrein hydraulique, un commutateur incorrect pourrait avoir été installé, ce qui pourrait désactiver les voyants des freins dans le tableau de bord. Par conséquent, les voyants pourraient ne pas s'allumer en cas de diminution du rendement des servofreins, ce qui pourrait augmenter de façon imprévue l'effort de freinage nécessaire, et ainsi augmenter les distances de freinage et les risques de collision pouvant entraîner des blessures ou des dommages matériels (ou les deux). Correction : Les concessionnaires devront installer le bon commutateur.
