SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:MASTER CYLINDER

Manufacturer
CARDONE INDUSTRIES, INC.
What Happened
The master cylinder is a crucial part in your vehicle's braking system - it helps control the pressure that makes your brakes work. In some cases, the seal in your master cylinder can fail and leak brake fluid.
Risk if Unfixed
If the master cylinder seal fails, you could lose brake fluid, which would make your brakes perform poorly. This could lead to a vehicle crash, especially if you're driving at high speeds or in emergency situations.
Free Fix
Cardone will offer to repurchase any faulty master cylinders, free of charge. You should contact them at 1-800-777-4780 to initiate the process.
