RJ-1606-0

On certain vehicles, the piston cups inside the brake master cylinder may crack due to burrs left from the manufacturing process. If this problem is left unattended, in the worst case, the cups could be damaged, which would result in reduced braking efficiency, as sufficient hydraulic pressure would not be transmitted. Note: This problem was reported in RJ-1383-0, submitted on 28th February 2005, but the vehicles to be recalled were not correctly accounted for, so this recall is to rectify the recall list.
