The corrosion could eventually cause a complete brake system failure, increasing the risk of a crash.

Dealers will replace the master cylinder assembly, reservoir, and brake fluid. Owner notification began july 28, 2003. Owners should contact acura at 1-800-382-2238.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
