What can happen
IN THE EVENT OF PRESSURE LOSS IN THE SUPPLY RESERVOIR,A DEFECTIVE CHECK VALVE WOULD ALLOW PRESSURE EQUALIZATION BETWEEN PRIMARY ANDSECONDARY SERVICE RESERVOIRS, PRESENTING THE POTENTIAL FOR LOSS OR ABSENCE OFFRONT BRAKING ABILITY, WHICH COULD CAUSE LOSS OF CONTROL AND AN ACCIDENT.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
INSTALL REVISED DESIGN SECONDARY SERVICE RESERVOIR CHECK VALVE COMPONENTS.

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.
