ATE SUPER BLUE RACING DOT 4
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Continental Aftermarket GmbH is recalling certain ATE Super Blue Racing DOT 4 Brake Fluid used as aftermarket replacement brake fluid. The brake fluid is blue in color instead of the required colorless to amber range, which fails to meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 116. This noncompliant color could lead consumers to accidentally mix it with an incompatible brake fluid type, potentially causing brake damage or brake failure and increasing the risk of a crash.
Continental will repurchase all affected units from distributors, retailers, and consumers. Affected consumers should contact Continental by phone at 1-800-265-1818 or by email at techsupport-us@vdo.com to arrange the repurchase of their brake fluid.
