On certain all terrain vehicles. the hydraulic brake system was inadevertently topped off with spindle oil during assembly. Spindle oil will contaminate the hydraulic brake fluid and damage the rubber components of the brake system. This can reduce braking capacity and result in longer than normal stopping distances. Correction: Brake fluid will be inspected for contamination and, if necessary, the brake system will be repaired.
