What is wrong
An incompatibility can exist between the mineral oil supplied by castrol and the hydraulic brake system of these vehicles.
The risk
The brake pedal feel can vary, especially following a prolonged period of inactivity and higher pedal pressure may be required. This condition can cause a loss of braking capability and increase the potential for a vehicle accident.
The fix
Dealers will drain the hydraulic system and refill the system with new mineral oil. The affected spare bottles will also be replaced.
