## What is wrong

THE REAR BRAKE CALIPERS COULD BIND AND CONSEQUENTLY OVERHEAT. AN OVERHEATED CALIPER COULD CAUSE THE BRAKE PEDAL TO FEEL SPONGY, AND IN EXTREME CASES, ONE OF THE TWO BRAKE CIRCUITS COULD BECOME INOPERATIVE. THIS WOULD INCREASE STOPPING DISTANCES AND COULD RESULT IN A VEHICLE CRASH.

CORRECTION: DEALERS WILL INSPECT AND IF NECESSARY, REPLACE REAR BRAKE CALIPERS.

V.I.N. RANGE \- WAU\*\*044\*G\*066981 TO WAU\*\*044\*H\*072776
