Check whether your vehicle is affected and follow the manufacturer’s recall instructions — the repair is free.
If a customer were confused by the label, they might use the wrong brake fluid, which could result in decreased braking performance and thereby increase the risk of a crash.
The Recall Registry rates this worth checking — we found nothing in the notice describing a specific injury. A recall covers only the versions, UPCs or date codes it names, so check those against yours.

American Grease Stick Company (AGS) is recalling certain bottles of Carquest DOT5 Silicone Brake Fluid manufactured October 9, 2013, to September 15, 2015. The affected bottles may not clearly show the minimum wet equilibrium reflux boiling point (ERPB) rating, and may not contain the words "Motor Vehicle" on the label where the bottle identifies the contents as DOT Brake Fluid. As such, these bottles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 116, "Motor Vehicle Brake Fluids."
This recall was issued by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The Recall Registry summarises it — always confirm the details at the source.
Their exact wording: “American Grease Stick Company — Brake Fluid Container Labeling Incorrect/FMVSS 116”
