NHTSA recall campaign
18E054000
What was wrong
Defect
TRW Automotive Inc (TRW) has submitted a Defect Information Report based upon decisions made by Volkswagen Group of America, Inc., Fiat Chrysler USA, BMW of North America, LLC and Mercedes-Benz to conduct recalls to inspect, and bleed the front and/or rear brake system, due to the brake caliper pistons having an insufficient coating.
Risk
The insufficient coating may cause a reduction in braking performance, increasing the risk of a crash.
Manufacturer remedy
TRW is working with the affected vehicle manufacturers. The recall began July 16, 2018. Dealers for those manufacturers will inspect the brake caliper pistons, and bleed the brakes, free of charge.
