To reduce the safety risk, Ford advises you not to drive your vehicle until the recall repairs are completed. Ford will notify owners by mail and advise you to contact a dealer to arrange for an inspection. The dealer will repair the brake booster assembly, as necessary.
On certain police motorcycles equipped with Anti-Lock Brake Systems (ABS), inconsistencies in the routing of the brake lines can cause abrasion of the brake lines and hoses. In some cases, this condition has caused brake fluid leaks. Loss of brake fluid could lead to a loss of brake function, which could result in a crash causing personal injuries or death.
No risk description available.
Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the brake lines. Brake line retention and clutch cable positioning devices will also be installed to prevent future abrasion to the brake lines.
On certain vehicles, a software problem could cause the vacuum pump to be damaged during engine starting. If this happens, there could be a loss of brake assist. This can cause an increase in brake pedal effort and increase the distance needed to stop the vehicle.
A sudden increase in brake pedal force could lead to an increased stopping distance. This could increase the risk of a crash.
Toyota will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to update the engine management software.
On certain vehicles, the brake hydraulic electronic control unit (HECU) could short circuit.
A short circuit could create a fire risk, even while the vehicle is parked and turned off.
Kia will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to replace the ABS multi-fuse. Kia recommends that you should park your vehicle outdoors, and away from other vehicles or structures until the recall repairs have been completed.
Certain motorcycles may not have adequate clearance between the front disc brake pads and the caliper assembly. Heat build-up to repeated hard braking at high speed, can cause the brake pad backing plate to expand and bind in the caliper. If this occurs, the brake pads will continuously contact the brake rotor causing overheating, possible rotor distortion and reduced brake performance.
No risk description available.
Front brake pads and rotors will be inspected and replaced if necessary.
THE CURVED SPRING WASHERS OR FLAT WASHERS FOR THE BRAKE SHOE ECCENTRICS MAY HAVE BEEN OMITTED DURING ASSEMBLY. THEIR ABSENCE COULD CAUSE DECREASED REAR BRAKING PERFORMANCE UPON INITIAL REAR BRAKE APPLICATION POSSIBLY RESULTING IN AN ACCIDENT.
No risk description available.
BRAKE SIDEPLATE ASSEMBLIES WILL BE REPLACED ON AFFECTED VEHICLES.
On certain motorcycles, a defective rear brake master cylinder could cause a reduction in rear braking performance. This could increase stopping distances or cause rear brake fade, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property.
No risk description available.
Dealers will replace the brake master cylinder with a revised unit.
Certain vehicles may have been built with an improperly installed (twisted) front brake hose. This could allow abrasive contact during normal suspension travel and result in eventual hose failure and partial loss of braking capability.
No risk description available.
No remedy description available.
On certain vehicles, the rear brake caliper bolts may have been insufficiently tightened during vehicle assembly. Loose bolts could allow a caliper to detach from its mount, potentially contacting the rotating road wheel. This could result in partial loss of brake function, which could increase stopping distance. This could also cause a sudden loss of tire air pressure, which could cause the driver to lose vehicle control. These issues could result in property damage and/or personal injury.
No risk description available.
Dealers will tighten the rear brake caliper mounting bolts to the specified torque.
On certain vehicles equipped with a manual transmission, a connector for the electronic parking brake (EPB) could disconnect. If this happens, you won't be able to apply the parking brake and the vehicle could roll away. If this happens and the parking brake is set, you won't be able release it. Note: This problem will cause the brake warning lamp to turn on or flash.
A parked vehicle that moves unexpectedly could increase the risk of an injury or a crash.
Subaru will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealership to inspect the adapter cord connector for the electronic parking brake, and if necessary, install an additional retaining clip. To reduce the safety risk, Subaru recommends that you should park the vehicle in a flat location and leave the transmission in gear whenever possible until the recall repairs have been completed. Additionally, when parking uphill, the front wheels should be turned away from the curb and the shift lever should be placed into first gear. When parking downhill, the front wheels should be turned into the curb and the shift lever should be placed into reverse gear.
THESE VEHICLES MAY HAVE BEEN BUILT WITH AN IMPROPERLY MANUFACTURED BRAKE PEDAL ARM. THIS CONDITION COULD CAUSE THE BRAKE PEDAL ARM TO FRACTURE, RESULTING IN A LOSS OF BRAKE OPERATION AND A CRASH WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING.
No risk description available.
DEALERS WILL REPLACE ALL SUSPECT BRAKE PEDAL ASSEMBLIES.
On certain vehicles, the brake master cylinder may contain a defect which could allow brake fluid to leak from the master cylinder into the brake booster. This would affect brake system function, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property.
No risk description available.
Dealers will install a revised master cylinder.
On certain vehicles, the Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) control module software may cause the rear brakes to lock-up during certain braking conditions. This could result in a loss of vehicle control and cause a crash without warning.
No risk description available.
Dealers will reprogram the ABS electronic control unit.
On certain motorcycles, the front brake switch may not function as intended, which could prevent brake light illumination when the front brake lever is applied. Failure of the brake lamp to illuminate when the brakes are applied may result in the following road users being unaware of the driver's intentions, increasing the risk of a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury.
No risk description available.
Dealers will replace the front brake switch.
On certain vehicles, the front brake calipers may have a torn or extruded caliper piston seal. This could result in a loss of hydraulic brake fluid, which could decrease braking performance and extended stopping distances, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property.
No risk description available.
Dealers will inspect the date codes of the right and left front caliper assemblies and check for signs of leaking brake fluid. If the date code falls within the affected range, the dealer will replace the brake caliper assembly. If there are signs of brake fluid leakage, the dealer will also replace the disc brake pads.
On certain vehicles, the ABS (anti-lock braking system) / ASR (traction control system) Electronic Control Unit is affected by an error in production which may cause the braking system's ABS feature not to function and the brake failure warning light to illuminate. Also, due to the characteristics of the braking system, this error will cause the EBD (electronic brake force distribution) feature not to function, which could cause vehicle instability under hard braking. If the vehicle's use is continued despite an illuminated brake failure warning light, eventual brake failure can occur and could result in a crash.
No risk description available.
Dealer will replace the ABS / ASR Electronic Control unit.
Certain vehicles may have an improperly formed master cylinder to hydraulic control unit brake tube assembly end-flare that could lead to a loss of brake fluid and reduced braking performance.
