Dorman Products – Brake Master Cylinder Fluid Indicator Switch
Report Received Date | 05/09/2013 |
NHTSA ID | 13E024000 |
Consequence Summary | If the brake system develops an external leak, it may result in a loss of brake fluid below the detection level of the fluid indicator switch. Without a warning, the driver may be unaware that the brake fluid level is low. A low brake fluid level may reduce the available braking force which could lengthen the required stopping distance and increase the risk of a crash. |
Corrective Action | Dorman will notify owners and Bosch will replace the fluid level indicator switch free of charge. The recall began on June 19, 2013. Owners may contact Dorman Customer Service at 1-800-523-2492 and press 5. |
