Campaign Details
Component: SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FLUID
Defect Description
American Grease Stick Company (AGS) is recalling certain bottles of Carquest DOT5 Silicone Brake Fluid manufactured October 9, 2013, to September 15, 2015. The affected bottles may not clearly show the minimum wet equilibrium reflux boiling point (ERPB) rating, and may not contain the words "Motor Vehicle" on the label where the bottle identifies the contents as DOT Brake Fluid. As such, these bottles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 116, "Motor Vehicle Brake Fluids."
Consequence / Hazard
If a customer were confused by the label, they might use the wrong brake fluid, which could result in decreased braking performance and thereby increase the risk of a crash.
Proposed Solution
AGS notified all of the known affected purchasers under the previous campaign of 15V-093. Bottles will be returned and relabeled with the correct label, free of charge. Owners may contact AGS customer service at 1-800-253-0403. Note: This recall supersedes recall 15V-093.
