On certain vehicles, vibration from the engine and driveline during prolonged high-rpm usage could cause the rear master cylinder reservoir to agitate, resulting in brake fluid aeration. If the rear brake is applied while the fluid is aerated, a small amount of air bubbles can enter the master cylinder, affecting rear brake performance. Reduced brake performance could result in loss of control and an accident with injury or death. Correction: Dealer will install a brake reservoir damper kit.
