AP RACING SUPER 600 BRAKE FLUID

  • Brand AP RACING

Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.

What happened

AP Racing is recalling certain 16.9-ounce bottles of Super 600 Brake Fluid (part number CP5600) because the label is missing required Department of Transportation information. Specifically, the label fails to indicate that this is DOT 4 brake fluid intended only for track and race applications, not for vehicles driven on highways. Without this correct label information, the brake fluid could be added to a brake system that requires a different type of fluid, which may reduce braking performance and increase the risk of a crash.

AP Racing will notify distributors who purchased the brake fluid and will provide new labels at no charge to clarify the fluid's intended use. The recall began on January 29, 2018. Consumers with affected bottles may contact Essex Parts Services, the U.S. distributor of AP Racing fluids, at 1-704-824-6030.
