What Happened
The master cylinder in your brakes is a critical part that helps slow your vehicle down. In certain cases, the seal in this part can fail and let brake fluid leak out.

If the seal fails, you could lose brake fluid, which can cause your brakes to perform poorly. This could lead to a vehicle crash, which could result in serious injury or damage.
