Affected vehicles

Ford Mondeo 1996

Hazard

In the braking system, the pressure control valve that regulates braking force at the rear wheels has inadequate sealing. When the vehicle continues to be used on roads where de-icing agent (salt) has been applied, saltwater splashed from the road surface corrodes the piston sliding surfaces inside the valve. In the worst case, the valve becomes inoperative and stable braking cannot be obtained.
