Defect
In the brake master cylinder, inadequate assembly equipment allows the orientation of the rubber seal to go undetected, resulting in some seals being installed upside down and damaging the seal lip. The damaged lip produces an inadequate seal, which may cause brake force to decrease when the brake pedal is applied slowly.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the brake master cylinder with a conforming unit.
