What Happened
The master cylinder is a critical part of your brake system, responsible for delivering brake fluid to your wheels. Certain master cylinders, including some made by Cardone, can fail and leak brake fluid over time.
Risk if Unfixed
If brake fluid leaks from the master cylinder, your brakes might not work properly, making it harder to stop your vehicle. This could lead to a vehicle crash.
Free Fix
Your dealer will replace the faulty master cylinder with a new one, at no cost to you. You should schedule the repair as soon as possible, as the recall is already underway.
