Details

Certain vehicles may have been originally equipped with a brake master cylinder reservoir cap that could leak.

If brake fluid leaks from the cap, it could come in contact with the ABS module wiring harness connector.

The same vehicles were previously involved in campaign 2007107 to address potentially missing or misplaced seals in the wiring harness connector to the ABS module electronic control unit.

If this repair wasn’t done correctly, brake fluid leaking from the reservoir cap could corrode the ABS module electrical connector.

This could result in vehicle fire causing property damage and/or personal injury.

Correction: Dealers will replace the brake master cylinder reservoir cap and modify the ABS electrical system.

Note: Owners are advised to park the vehicle outdoors until the remedy is applied.
