What Happened
The master cylinder in your vehicle is a crucial part that helps you stop the car. It's the one that sends brake fluid to your brake pads when you press the brake pedal. In some cases, the seal on this cylinder can break down and leak fluid.
Risk if Unfixed
If the master cylinder leaks brake fluid, your brakes won't work as well. This means you might not be able to stop your vehicle as quickly or safely, which could lead to a crash.
Free Fix
Your dealer will notify you and offer to replace the defective master cylinder free of charge. You can also contact Cardone directly at 1-800-777-4780 for more information.
