What Happened
The master cylinder is a crucial part of your vehicle's brake system. It's responsible for distributing brake fluid to your brakes. In certain cases, the seal on the master cylinder can fail and start leaking brake fluid.
Risk if Unfixed
If the master cylinder seal fails, you'll lose brake fluid, which can cause your brakes to perform poorly. This could lead to a vehicle crash, putting you and others at risk.
Free Fix
Your dealer will contact you to arrange for a replacement or repurchase of the faulty master cylinder, free of charge. You'll be notified by mail with instructions on the next steps, and you can also contact Cardone's customer service at 1-800-777-4780 to inquire about the recall.
