Defect
On brake pistons in the braking system, an incorrect seal was improperly assembled onto the piston, resulting in insufficient sealing performance. Brake fluid leaks as a result. Continued use causes brake fluid level to decrease, illuminating the warning lamp. In the worst case, braking force may be reduced.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the seal on the brake piston with the correct genuine part.
