What Happened
The master cylinder is a critical part that helps you control your brakes. It's the part that seals the brake fluid inside your brake system. In certain cases, the seal on your master cylinder can fail and leak brake fluid.
Risk if Unfixed
If the seal fails, you'll lose brake fluid, which means your brakes won't work properly. This could lead to a vehicle crash, putting you and your passengers at risk.
Free Fix
You'll get a notice from Cardone, and they'll offer to take back the defective master cylinder at no cost to you. If you've already paid for a replacement, they'll reimburse you.
