Your vehicle may be using a brake master cylinder made by Affinia, which is like a critical pump that helps your car stop safely. This pump was sold under various brand names, including NAPA and AC Delco, and was made during a specific time period.
Risk if Unfixed
If the internal seal in the master cylinder gets brittle in very cold temperatures, it could crack and leak brake fluid, making your brakes less effective. This could cause your car to take longer to stop, and you could be at risk of a crash.
Free Fix
Your brake master cylinder will be replaced by Affinia, free of charge. You should have your vehicle repaired as soon as possible to ensure your safety on the road.
