Brakes are safety critical BUT it seems from one failure and a couple of others where the pedal has gone soft the reaction from MMC is to advise not to drive any CX cars at all, rather than suggest a visual inspection for fluid level or leaks first by the owner! Knee jerk reaction? Are they shooting themselves in the foot here, as logistics of trailering every car to a dealer is mind boggling.
And then we have insurance companies and DV agency intimating it would be ok just to drive it to get it repaired. A direct conflict with MMC’s advice. The master cylinder has a batch number on it (LOTE No.****)…is it maybe a particular batch only that is affected. Either way, there will be a good proportion of owners who will now insist on trailering for repairs even if it turns out to be not as bad as expected. I expected by today to see the results of yesterday’s dealer meeting and details of remedial action…but it seems to have gone quiet!
