NHTSA Campaign Id 07V528000; Date: Nov. 16, 2007
In abs/vdc actuators with more than one ball, it is possible that fluid flow could be blocked and cause a reduction in brake force in one or both front wheels or affect operation of the abs and/or vdc. This could result in a reduction in brake effectiveness without warning increasing the risk of a crash.
