Zf recall: Service brakes, hydraulic
What is wrong
ZF Group North America, Inc. (ZF) is recalling certain Brake calipers. The brake calipers may have been manufactured with the incorrect assembly fluid, which can cause the seals to swell and the brakes to drag.
What could happen
Brake drag may result in overheating of the brake pads, affecting the braking ability and increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
ZF has notified the affected vehicle manufacturers, and those manufacturers will conduct recalls to remedy the vehicles, free of charge.
