What is wrong

ALSO, LONGER BRAKE PEDAL TRAVEL WOULD BE EXPERIENCED AND COULD LEAD TO PARTIAL OR TOTAL LOSS OF ACTION ON THE FRONT END BRAKES.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
DEALER WILL REPLACE THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER AND BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR AND INSTALL A NEW TYPE OF BRAKE LEVEL WARNING INDICATOR, WITHOUT 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.
