Check whether your vehicle is affected and follow the manufacturer’s recall instructions — the repair is free.
Without the correct label information, the fluid may be added to a brake system that requires a different type of brake fluid. The fluid incompatibility may reduce braking performance, increasing 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.

AP Racing is recalling certain 16.9oz bottles of Super 600 Brake Fluid, part number CP5600. The label on this brake fluid is missing the required DOT information that the brake fluid is for Track/Race applications and not for use in vehicles on highways, nor does it state that it is DOT 4 brake fluid. As such, these vehicles 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: “AP Racing — Missing DOT Information on Label/FMVSS 116”
