What Happened
The master cylinder in your vehicle controls the brake pressure. It's the part that seals the brake fluid inside the system. In some cases, the seal on this master cylinder can fail, causing a brake fluid leak.
Risk if Unfixed
If the seal fails and brake fluid leaks out, you could experience poor braking performance. This could make it harder to stop your vehicle, and increase the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
Your vehicle's brake master cylinder will be inspected and replaced if it's defective, at no cost to you. You should contact Cardone directly at 1-800-777-4780 to schedule the repair.
