What is wrong
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: 3-WHEEL ON-ROAD POLICE VEHICLES. TWO VALVE SWITCHES LOCATED ON THE MASTER CYLINDER THAT READS THE BRAKE LINE PRESSURE CAN GIVE FAULTY FAILURE CODES TO THE DASH OR NOT FAILURE CODE AT ALL.
What can happen
A LOSS OF BRAKE LINE PRESSURE OR OTHER BRAKE RELATED PROBLEMS MIGHT NOT BE NOTICED BY THE OPERATOR, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

Recall repairs are free of charge.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
