9999 DORMAN MASTER CYLINDER Recall

Campaign:
13E024000 on 05/13/2013
Component:
Equipment
Affected:
7
Defect:
Dorman is recalling certain master cylinders, model number m630274-bx, manufactured by bosch. the brake fluid level indicator (fli) may not properly detect a low brake fluid level situation and warn the driver.
Consequence:
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.
Correction:
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.
Notes:
Owners may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (tty 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
