## What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the pressure conscious reducing valve \(PCRV\) in each of the rear brakes may be subject to malfunction due to corrosion when operated in areas of high road salt use.  If both PCRVs malfunction, vehicle handling may be adversely affected during braking as a result of the rear wheels locking, which could potentially result in a vehicle crash.  Correction:  Dealers will install improved PCRVs in the rear brake system.
