What happened

Advics North America, Inc. is recalling certain ABS brake actuators manufactured between October 12, 2015, and January 29, 2016, that were supplied to Toyota and Nissan vehicles. The actuators may contain a damaged O-ring in the gear pump, which can result in insufficient brake fluid pressure and lengthen the distance needed to stop a vehicle, increasing crash risk.

Advics has notified the vehicle manufacturers who purchased the brake actuators, and those manufacturers have filed recalls with NHTSA and will notify affected owners. Dealers will inspect and replace the actuators at no charge. Owners may contact ADVICS customer service at 1-513-696-5450.
