What Happened
The master cylinder in your vehicle is a crucial part that helps you stop safely. It's the component that sends brake fluid to your brake system. In some cases, the seal on this cylinder can fail, causing brake fluid to leak out.
Risk if Unfixed
If the brake fluid leaks out, your brakes won't work properly. This could lead to reduced stopping power, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.
Free Fix
Your dealer will replace the faulty master cylinder with a new one, but in this case, the manufacturer is offering a different solution: they'll repurchase any defective master cylinders from you. You should contact Cardone at 1-800-777-4780 to arrange for the repurchase.
