What NHTSA recorded
The involved vehicles may have been assembled with an incorrectly manufactured brake master cylinder tilting valve. These defective tilting valves may develop internal leakage with many brake applications and cause hydraulic brake pressure loss in one or both vehicle brake circuits.
Remedy
Dealer will equip all affected vehicles with the correct tilting valves at no cost to owner.
