What Happened
The master cylinder is the part that helps control your brakes. In some 2008 Sentra models, the brake fluid reservoir in the master cylinder might leak, which could cause problems.
Risk if Unfixed
If you ignore the warning light, one of your brake circuits could fail, making it harder to stop your vehicle. This could lead to longer stopping distances and a higher risk of a crash.

How to Get This Fixed
