SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP:CONTROL UNIT/MODULE

Manufacturer

You'll lose control of your vehicle and increase the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
Your authorized dealer will replace the faulty pressure sensor and update the ABS module software, all at no cost to you. This will fix the problem and ensure your brakes work properly. You should schedule an appointment as soon as you receive the recall notice.
