TOYOTA COROLLA ( 01/09/1999 – 01/09/2000) DEFECT: Due to an improper washing process of a metal part within the brake master cylinder there is a possibility that the groove for installing the rubber seal ring which is located at the end of the master cylinder may be corroded. In this condition brake fluid may leak from the seal or a small amount of air may enter the master cylinder which could lead to an increase in vehicle stopping distance.
Remedy
Vehicles that are likely to be affected will be checked and a quality assured part fitted if necessary.
