Recall 2016252

The issue

On certain vehicles, brake fluid from the master cylinder may leak into the brake booster. Depending on the volume of fluid that leaks, the driver could experience visual and audible warnings due to the low fluid level in the master cylinder. If the vehicle is operated in this condition, the driver may experience increased brake pedal travel, increased pedal effort, and extended stopping distances, which could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace the master cylinder. The brake booster will also be replaced if there is evidence that brake fluid has leaked into the booster.

Description (français)

Sur certains véhicules, le liquide du maître-cylindre de frein pourrait fuir et s’écouler sur le servofrein jusqu’à ce que son niveau devienne assez faible pour entraîner l’émission d’avertissements visuels et sonores, prolonger la course de la pédale de freinage, rendre l’actionnement de cette dernière plus ardu, augmenter la distance d’arrêt et accroître les risques de collision causant des blessures et/ou des dommages matériels. Correction : les détaillants doivent remplacer le maître-cylindre, ainsi que le servofrein si du liquide semble s’être écoulé dans celui-ci.
