Defect Summary: Brake parts inc. (bpi) is recalling certain hydro-max brake master cylinders branded as raybestos p/n mc390565, napa p/n 390565, carquest p/n e151557, and gm ac delco p/n 18m870. these cylinders contain a 2.0 inch bore and 84 cubic inch reservoir equipped with a brake fluid level indicator switch and without a differential pressure switch, manufactured between july 1, 2011 and april 12, 2012. the brake fluid level indicator (fli) may not properly detect a low brake fluid level situation and warn the driver.
Consequence Summary: 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.
Corrective Action: Bpi will notify customers and replace the fluid level indicator switch free of charge. the recall began in june 2013. owners may contact bpi at 1-815-363-9000.
