NHTSA Recall 09V225000
NHTSA Campaign Id 09V225000; Date: Jun. 16, 2009
The driver would normally detect the brake drag but if undetected the temperature increase at the wheel end can eventually lead to soft pedal conditions due to brake fluid boil, and possible extended stopping distance increasing the risk of a crash.
