Defect
In the master brake cylinder, the seal geometry on the piston is incorrect, allowing the seal to fold over when the brake pedal is depressed. This causes brake fluid to leak past the seal and illuminates the warning light. In the worst case, braking force decreases and stopping distance is extended.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the master cylinder with a corrected part.
