What is wrong
THE MISADJUSTMENT OF A MACHINE TOOL ALLOWED METAL PARTICLES TO REMAIN IN THE REAR AXLE ABS SPEED SENSOR MOUNTING HOLE. THE PARTICLES CAN COME LOOSE, ATTACH TO THE SENSOR ASSEMBLY, AND FALSELY INDICATE A WHEEL-LOCK CONDITION TO THE ABS CONTROL UNIT.
What can happen
THIS FALSE SIGNAL CAN CAUSE PREMATURE ABS FUNCTION AT THE REAR BRAKES WHICH COULD INCREASE STOPPING DISTANCES.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE SENSOR OPENING FOR METAL PARTICLES AND REMOVE AS REQUIRED.

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.
