On certain vehicles, the metal part inside the brake master cylinder that was not properly cleaned at factory can cause rust on the groove for the rubber seal located at the rear of the cylinder, and the seal could fail. If this problem is left unattended, brake fluid may leak from the seal, or a small amount of air may mix into brake fluid, which could result in reduced brake efficiency.
