| Description of the problem | Car has been kept on a garage and well taken care of. We have followed the maintenance schedule on it meticulously. However, today we found out that the brake actuator is leaking and could cause catastrophic failure. This seems to be a problem on many cars from this year, and obviously from previous years since a recall was already ordered for years 2007 and 2006. This seems to be an obvious problem with this component. |
