Check whether your vehicle is affected and follow the manufacturer’s recall instructions — the repair is free.
If the piston pops out of the master cylinder housing, a complete loss of braking or unintended brake application can occur, increasing the risk of a crash. Owners may initially notice brake fluid leaking onto the vacuum booster, or a change in brake pedal travel and feel.
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.
MPA will notify owners directing them to take the component to an AutoZone store to return the recalled Master Cylinder for a full refund. Exchanges for replacement Master Cylinders can occur after October 1, 2020. This recall began August 28, 2020. Owners may contact MPA customer service at 1-833-758-0239 or email recall@motorcarparts.com.
