What is wrong
Dorman is recalling certain master cylinders, model number M630274-BX, manufactured by Bosch. The brake fluid level indicator (FLI) may not properly detect a low brake fluid level situation and warn the driver.
What can happen
If the brake system develops an external leak, it may result in a loss of brake fluid below the detection level of the fluid indicator switch. Without a warning, the driver may be unaware that the brake fluid level is low. A low brake fluid level may reduce the available braking force which could lengthen the required stopping distance and increase the risk of a crash.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
Dorman will notify owners and Bosch will replace the fluid level indicator switch free of charge. The recall began on June 19, 2013. Owners may contact Dorman Customer Service at 1-800-523-2492 and press 5.

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.
