The brake master cylinder is the part that helps control the pressure in your brake system. In some aftermarket brake master cylinders sold for Ford, Chrysler, and Jeep vehicles, an internal seal can become brittle and fail in very cold temperatures.
Risk if Unfixed
If this happens, brake fluid could leak out, making your brakes less reliable. This can increase the distance it takes to stop, which could lead to a crash.
Free Fix
Affinia will replace the faulty brake master cylinder for free. You should contact Affinia Group Customer Service at 1-800-323-0354 to schedule the repair.
