PROGRAMMING SBC HYDRAULIC UNIT
This Recall Campaign has been initiated because DCAG has determined that on the affected vehicles (see VIN range below), in certain instances, the
Sensotronic Brake Control (SBC) pump motor may run out of permissible tolerances, thereby triggering the hydraulic back up function mode. In the
hydraulic back up mode, the driver has braking power sufficient to stop the vehicle, although greater brake pedal pressure is required and the brake pedal
travel will be noticeably longer which could lead to a vehicle crash. The recall will be conducted in order to re-program the SBC Hydraulic unit.
Please review the Effective Serial Number Chart located below.
Shown in this bulletin is a sample copy of a letter which owners of the affected vehicles will receive.
Prior to performing this Recall Campaign:
^
Please check VMI to insure the vehicle is involved and to determine if the vehicle has been previously repaired.

Please review the entire Recall Campaign bulletin.
