What This Recall Means

Component

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

What Happened

Risk if Unfixed
If the software issue isn't fixed, your rear brakes might lock up during hard braking, and you could lose control of your vehicle. This could happen without warning and lead to a crash.

How to Get This Fixed
