RJ-1438-1

Submitted by administrator on Wed, 03/04/2015 - 00:56

The edge of the rubber seal at the rear end of the brake master cylinder is improper, and therefore a part of the seal may be curled, caused by a braking operation after filling of brake fluid at factory, in which case the seal may allow brake fluid to leak. If the vehicle continues to be driven with this problem, the brake warning light may illuminate, and in the worst case, air could get into the brake fluid, which could result in reduced braking efficiency.
