The top of the battery may get wet with water such as rainwater because measures to protect the battery from water are not sufficient, and therefore, if the battery is not the factory-installed one due to the replacement, water can get into the inside of the battery depending on the shape of top of the battery. In such a case, the battery liquid level increases, and the overflowed liquid may spatter on the ABS hydraulic unit causing corrosion, and at worst, brake fluid could leak, which results in reduced brake efficiency.
Case Number:
RJ-1060-2
Make/model:
Issued:
Thu, 2004-04-08
Component:
brake (ABS hydraulic unit)
Affected:
164 660
Correction:
If the factory-installed battery has been replaced, the existing battery should be inspected, the ABS hydraulic unit should be inspected for corrosion, and if the ABS hydraulic unit has corroded, the unit and the brake pipe should be replaced with new ones, and the battery cover should be installed. If the factory-installed battery has not been replaced, the battery cover should be installed.
