Service brakes, hydraulic: antilock/traction control/electronic limited slip
- What is wrong
- The misadjustment of a machine tool allowed metal particles to remain in the rear axle ABS speed sensor mounting hole. The particles can come loose, attach to the sensor assembly, and falsely indicate a wheel-lock condition to the ABS control unit.
- Risk
- This false signal can cause premature ABS function at the rear brakes which could increase stopping distances.
- Remedy
- Dealers will inspect the sensor opening for metal particles and remove as required.
