The problem
THE MISADJUSTMENT OF A MACHINE TOOL ALLOWED METAL PARTICLES TO REMAIN IN THE REAR AXLE ABS SPEED SENSOR MOUNTING HOLE. THE PARTICLES CAN COME LOOSE, ATTACH TO THE SENSOR ASSEMBLY, AND FALSELY INDICATE A WHEEL-LOCK CONDITION TO THE ABS CONTROL UNIT.
Risk
THIS FALSE SIGNAL CAN CAUSE PREMATURE ABS FUNCTION AT THE REAR BRAKES WHICH COULD INCREASE STOPPING DISTANCES.
What owners should do
DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE SENSOR OPENING FOR METAL PARTICLES AND REMOVE AS REQUIRED.
