Defect
In the brake pipes between the master cylinder and the brake actuator, inadequate cleaning of the pipe interior during the manufacturing process has left foreign matter adhering inside some pipes. This foreign matter may migrate into the master cylinder and become lodged in the seal. If this occurs, brake pedal travel increases and braking force decreases.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the master cylinder and the affected brake pipes with new parts.
