Defect

Insufficient cleaning of the internal metal components of the brake master cylinder allows rust to develop in the rubber seal mounting groove at the rear of the cylinder, causing seal failure. Continued use may result in brake fluid leaking past the seal. Small amounts of air may also enter the brake fluid, extending stopping distance.

Corrective action

On all vehicles, inspect the brake master cylinder and replace it with a serviceable unit if brake fluid leakage or air intrusion is found.
