Defect:
Ap racing is recalling certain 16.9oz bottles of super 600 brake fluid, part number cp5600. the label on this brake fluid is missing the required dot information that the brake fluid is for track/race applications and not for use in vehicles on highways, nor does it state that it is dot 4 brake fluid. as such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard (fmvss) number 116, "motor vehicle brake fluids."
Consequence:
Without the correct label information, the fluid may be added to a brake system that requires a different type of brake fluid. the fluid incompatibility may reduce braking performance, increasing the risk of a crash.
Correction:
Ap racing will notify the distributors that purchased the brake fluid bottles from ap racing, and will provide new labels to clarify the brake fluid's intended use, free of charge. the recall began on january 29, 2018. owners may contact essex parts services, us distributor of ap racing fluids at 1-704-824-6030.
