What is wrong
Inability to maintain pressure in the secondary system of the master cylinder (controls braking of rear wheels) could increase brake pedal travel and reduce brake performance at temperatures less than 40 degrees.
The risk
This would cause reduced braking effectiveness andincreased stopping distance that could result in a crash or collision.
The fix
Install new design master cylinder incorporating a redesigned seal.
