THE ABS MODULATOR MAY CORRODE AND LEAK FLUID FROM THE FRONT BRAKE CIRCUIT. BRAKE FLUID LEAKAGE COULD REDUCE BRAKE EFFECTIVENESS AND INCREASE STOPPING DISTANCES. THIS COULD RESULT IN A CRASH WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING. CORRECTION: DEALERS WILL REMOVE EXISTING CORROSION FROM THE ABS MODULATOR AND INSTALL A KIT TO PREVENT FUTURE CORROSION.
