It can still brake, but i have to press the pedal to the floor, and the car slows down rather than stopping. It will stay soft a while (15-20 min), but i found that if i pump them hard a few times (like while at a red light) it then returns to normal. This has happened many times, mostly recently 2/28/2019.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
