Reason the product is recalled
Braking capacity may be reduced as a result of air introduction into the hydraulic circuit. The cause of the defect lies with two separate elements, which can combine and result in the introduction of air to the hydraulic circuit.
1) The secondary seal in combination with low temperatures (below -8°C) exhibits poor self restoring force properties.
2) Used brake pads can cause a vacuum in the hydraulic system and this may lead to the introduction of air into the hydraulic circuit.
