These ABS actuators may have been assembled with a gear pump containing a damaged O-ring resulting in a lack of brake fluid pressure.

Consequence Summary:
Insufficient brake fluid pressure may lengthen the distance needed to stop the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.

Corrective Summary:
ADVICS has notified the vehicle manufacturers that purchased the brake actuators. Those manufacturers have filed recalls with NHTSA and will notify the affected owners. Dealers will inspect and replace the actuators, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on March 31, 2016. Owners may contact ADVICS customer service at 1-513-696-5450.

Manufactured Begin Date: December 4th, 2014
Manufactured End Date: December 23rd, 2014
Date of Owner Notification: May 27th, 2015

Defect Summary:
ADVICS North America, Inc. (ADVICS) is recalling certain antil-lock brake system (ABS) Actuators manufactured December 4, 2014, to December 23, 2014.

Consequence Summary:
Under some driving conditions, when the ABS is activated, the malfunctioning ABS actuator could cause a loss of vehicle stability, increasing the risk of a crash.

Corrective Summary:
ADVICS has notified the affected vehicle manufacturers. The vehicle manufacturers will contact the vehicle owners, and their dealers will inspect and replace the ABS actuator, as necessary, free of charge.

Recall Notes:
Owners may contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
