What Happened
The master cylinder is a crucial part of your vehicle's brake system. It's like a central hub that helps control brake fluid pressure to make your brakes work. In certain cases, the seal on this cylinder can fail and leak brake fluid.
Risk if Unfixed
If the brake fluid leaks out, your brakes won't work properly. This could make it harder to stop your vehicle, especially on steep hills or when you're driving at high speeds, increasing the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
Cardone will replace your defective master cylinder for free, or you can choose to have it repurchased. You'll be notified, and if you have any questions, you can call Cardone at 1-800-777-4780.
