DURING THE ASSEMBLY OF THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT, A CHIP OF ALUMINUM MAY HAVE BEEN DISLODGED AND REMAIN IN THE ABS UNIT. THE ALUMINUM CHIP MAY PREVENT NORMAL OPERATION OF THE CHECK VALVE. WHILE THE NORMAL BRAKING SYSTEM WILL REMAIN FULLY OPERATIVE, THE ALUMINUM CHIP MAY CAUSE THE ABS FUNCTION TO NOT PERFORM PROPERLY. I THE ABS FUNCTION DOES NOT PERFORM PROPERLY, UNEXPECTED TIRE SKIDDING DURING HARD OR PANIC BRAKING MAY OCCUR, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH. I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP BY PHONE AND VIA EMAIL, BUT HAVE BEEN IGNORED. *TR

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
