SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC

Manufacturer
BRAKE PARTS, INC.
What Happened
The brake master cylinder in your vehicle is a critical part that helps control the brake fluid pressure when you press the brake pedal. In some aftermarket brake master cylinders sold for certain Ford, DaimlerChrysler, and Jeep vehicles, a seal inside could become brittle in very cold temperatures and start to leak brake fluid.
Risk if Unfixed
If the master cylinder leaks, you could lose brake fluid. This would make your brakes less responsive and take longer to stop, increasing the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
Your brake master cylinder will be replaced at no cost to you. You should contact Affina Group's customer service at 1-800-323-0354 to schedule the free replacement.
