Defect

Hydrogen may have become embedded in the material of the pistons of a certain batch of brake calipers. This hydrogen could leak from the pistons and enter the hydraulic components of the rear axle brake and cause compressibility there. As a result, the braking power of the rear axle may be impaired and the brake pedal travel may be extended.
