HIGH AMBIENT AND/OR HIGHER UNDERHOOD TEMPERATURES MAY CAUSE A CHEMICAL REACTION TO TAKE PLACE BETWEEN MINUTE WATER CONTENT IN THE BRAKE FLUID AND THE FALVANIZED BRAKE SPRING IN THE SECONDARY PISTON CHAMBER OF THE MASTER CYLINDER. THE CHEMICAL REACTION PRODUCES HYDROGEN GAS WHICH INCREASES PISTON TRAVEL AND REDUCES THE EFFICIENCY OF THE REAR BRAKES.
