NOTE:
This recall applies only to the above vehicles built from October 21, 2011 through October 25, 2011 (MDH 102120 through 102506).
IMPORTANT:
Many of the vehicles within the above build period have already been inspected or repaired and, therefore, have been excluded from this recall.
^ The brake fluid in about 50 of the above vehicles may be contaminated. Contaminated brake fluid could cause the brake components to rapidly deteriorate leading to a potential loss of brakes and cause a crash without warning.
^ To correct this condition, all components for the hydraulic brake system must be replaced. Also, vehicles equipped with a manual transmission must have all the hydraulic clutch components replaced.
