The risk
The product poses a risk of injuries because there may be foreign material inside the brake tube which can potentially move into the brake master cylinder. If this occurs, the seal inside the brake master cylinder may become damaged, resulting in a reduction of the braking force and an increase in the brake pedal travel.
Product: Passenger car
