What Happened
The electronic brake boost system in your vehicle is a safety feature that helps your car stop faster and smoother. In some 2020-2021 models, a sensor connection can get contaminated, disrupting communication between the sensor and the system.
Risk if Unfixed
If this communication is interrupted, you could need to press the brake pedal harder to slow down, which increases the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
Your dealer will replace the electronic brake boost module, a critical safety component, at no cost to you. This repair is free, and you should schedule it as soon as you receive the recall notice.
