What NHTSA recorded

The rear brake caliper casting on certain vehicles could be porous and could allow brake fluid to seep from the caliper assembly. If this occurs, the rear brakes will gradually lose fluid and pressure.

Remedy

Dealer will test and replace, if necessary, the rear brake caliper on affected vehicles.
