On certain vehicles, the internal seals in the brake master cylinder may have been installed incorrectly. As a result, the master cylinder may unexpectedly bypass braking force pressure and allow a longer than normal pedal stroke. Should this condition occur, the brake distance required to stop the vehicle will increase and may lead to a vehicle crash. Correction: Dealers will replace the brake master cylinder.
