- Component:
- Service brakes, hydraulic:foundation components:master cylinder
- Affected:
- 624
- Defect:
- Brake parts inc. (bpi) is recalling certain hydro-max brake master cylinders branded as raybestos p/n mc390565, napa p/n 390565, carquest p/n e151557, and gm ac delco p/n 18m870. these cylinders contain a 2.0 inch bore and 84 cubic inch reservoir equipped with a brake fluid level indicator switch and without a differential pressure switch, manufactured between july 1, 2011 and april 12, 2012. 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:
- Bpi will notify customers and replace the fluid level indicator switch free of charge. the recall began in june 2013. owners may contact bpi at 1-815-363-9000.
- 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.
