What is wrong
The brake master cylinder can leak brake fluid due to a damaged double lip rear piston seal.
The risk
Brake fluid leakage can result in diminished effectiveness of one half of the split brake system. The instrument panel warning light(s) will signal system impairment prior to partial brake system loss.
The fix
Dealers will replace the rear brake master cylindr piston assembly.
