What is wrong
DURING VEHICLE OPERATION IN HEAVY RAIN, THERE MAY BE A NOTICEABLE INITIAL REDUCTION IN THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE REAR DISC BRAKE, FOLLOWED BY A GRADUAL RECOVERY TO NORMAL, DRY CONDITION EFFECTIVENESS. IF PEDAL FORCE IS NOT INCREASED TO COMPENSATE, LONGER STOPPING DISTANCES WILL RESULT. IF PEDAL FORCE IS NOT REDUCED AFTER RECOVERY, A REAR WHEEL SKID COULD RESULT.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
THE DEALER WILL REPLACE REAR BRAKE PADS WITH PADS WHICH WILL IMPROVE BRAKING PERFORMANCE IN WET WEATHER.

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.
