The problem
The anti-lock braking system (abs) hydraulic actuator was not properly purged of all air during the fill and evacuation process causing air bubbles to get into the brake system.
The risk
This condition can cause increased brake pedal travel and stopping distances.
The fix
Dealers will bleed the abs hydraulic actuator to remove any air bubbles in the brake system.
