Trw recall: Service brakes, hydraulic
What is wrong
TRW Automotive Inc (TRW) has submitted a Defect Information Report based upon decisions made by Volkswagen Group of America, Inc., Fiat Chrysler USA, BMW of North America, LLC and Mercedes-Benz to conduct recalls to inspect, and bleed the front and/or rear brake system, due to the brake caliper pistons having an insufficient coating.
What could happen
The insufficient coating may cause a reduction in braking performance, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
TRW is working with the affected vehicle manufacturers. The recall began July 16, 2018. Dealers for those manufacturers will inspect the brake caliper pistons, and bleed the brakes, free of charge.
