Defect
On some vehicles, the fluid-level detection float in the brake fluid reservoir tank became caught on its guide during brake fluid filling. As a result, the low-fluid warning light may not illuminate even when the brake fluid level drops.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, inspect the operation of the fluid-level detection float. On any unit where the float is found to be caught, reposition the float to its correct state. Attach a label to the reservoir tank describing precautions to observe when adding brake fluid.
