The pistons inside the rear brake assemblies received improper surface treatment during manufacturing. Continued use causes the cups attached to the pistons to wear, allowing brake fluid to leak. In the worst case, the brakes may fail entirely.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the affected pistons and cups with corrected parts. Where brake fluid has contacted the brake shoes, replace the brake shoes with new units.
