The risk
An incorrect type of brake fluid may have been installed during production. This fluid may cause internal corrosion of the ABS module. As a result, the vehicles affected may experience reduced brake performance and/or a spongy, low brake pedal operation due to a sticking valve within the ABS module, which could lead to a road accident.
Product: Passenger car
