DEFECT #2 - SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:MASTER CYLINDER


Posted on: 2010-10-22
Description
Honda is recalling certain model year 2005-2007 odyssey and acura rl vehicles.  Brake fluid containing polymers is used that acts as a lubricant for certain brake system components.  If replacement brake fluid is used that does not contain such polymers, or that contains only small amounts, a part of the rubber seal located at the rear of the brake master cylinder may become dry, and the seal may curl during movement of the piston.  If this occurs, a small amount of brake fluid could slowly leak from the seal into the brake booster.

Consequence
A leak of brake fluid could lead to a change in brake pedal feel and overtime a degradation in braking performance increasing the risk of a crash.  

Corrective Action
Dealers will replace the brake master cylinder seal free of charge.  The recall is expected to begin during december 2010.  Owners may contact honda at 1-800-999-1009.
