OFFICIAL NHTSA RECALL
13E024000
Equipment
Reported May 9, 2013 · Dorman Products, Inc.
Summary
Dorman is recalling certain master cylinders, model number M630274-BX, manufactured by Bosch. The brake fluid level indicator (FLI) may not properly detect a low brake fluid level situation and warn the driver.
Consequence
If the brake system develops an external leak, it may result in a loss of brake fluid below the detection level of the fluid indicator switch. Without a warning, the driver may be unaware that the brake fluid level is low. A low brake fluid level may reduce the available braking force which could lengthen the required stopping distance and increase the risk of a crash.
Remedy
Dorman will notify owners and Bosch will replace the fluid level indicator switch free of charge. The recall began on June 19, 2013. Owners may contact Dorman Customer Service at 1-800-523-2492 and press 5.
Notes
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
