Recall 2015219

The issue

On certain vehicles, corrosion may occur in the ABS hydraulic unit due to a reaction between the brake fluid and the surface treatment of the internal valves. If this were to occur and the ABS hydraulic unit is activated, one or more of the valves could seize. This could result in longer brake pedal travel and increased stopping distances, which may increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will flush and clean the hydraulic unit by replacing the brake fluid with higher grade (DOT4) fluid. If module valve movement is determined to be poor, the ABS hydraulic unit will be replaced.

Description (français)

Sur certains véhicules, le circuit hydraulique du système de freinage antiblocage (ABS) pourrait se corroder en raison d'une réaction entre le liquide de frein et le traitement de surface des soupapes internes. Si cela se produit et que le circuit hydraulique ABS est actionné, une soupape ou plus pourrait se gripper. Cela pourrait allonger la course de la pédale de frein et augmenter les distances de freinage, ce qui pourrait augmenter les risques d'accident pouvant entraîner des blessures ou des dommages matériels (ou les deux). Correction : Les concessionnaires devront rincer et nettoyer le circuit hydraulique en remplaçant le liquide de frein par un liquide de meilleure qualité (DOT4). Si le mouvement des soupapes est jugé inadéquat, le circuit hydraulique ABS devra être remplacé.
