What is wrong
THE REAR HYDRAULIC BRAKE SYSTEM MIGHT BE CAPABLE OF GENERATING EXCESSIVE HYDRAULIC PRESSURE WHICH COULD EXCEED THE BURST STRENGTH OF SOME OF THE REAR BRAKE CALIPERS. THIS COULD CAUSE CALIPER FRACTURE AND TOTAL LOSS OF REAR BRAKES.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
DEALER WILL INSPECT AND MODIFY THE BRAKE SYSTEM AT NO COST TO OWNER.

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.
