NOTE: This recall applies only to the above vehicles built from March 17, 2018
through June 21, 2018 (MDH 031706 through 062101).
The rear brake calipers on about 154,300 may have out-of-specification chrome
coating on the pistons, which may cause gas pockets to form in the brake system.
In some instances, the brake pedal may exhibit increased travel and/or feel soft
after vehicle start. Gas pockets in the brake system may result in a reduction in
rear brake performance, which can cause a vehicle crash without prior warning.
Bleed the entire brake system to remove any gas pockets.
