   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   Advics North America, Inc. (Advics) is recalling certain ABS Brake Actuators manufactured October 12, 2015, to January 29, 2016. These actuators are made for Toyota vehicles as part numbers 44540-06260, 44540-06370, 44540-0E240, 44540-0E250, 44540-0E260, 44540-0E270, 44540-0E280, 44540-0E290, 44540-0E261, 44540-0E271, 44540-0R170, 44540-0R220, 44540-33450-A, 44540-33750-A, 44540-48430-A, 44540-48440-A, 44540-48620-A, 44540-48600-A, 44540-48610-A, 44540-48630-A, 44050-0R330, and for Nissan vehicles as part numbers 47660 5AA0C, 47660 5AE0C, and 47660 4RB0B. These ABS actuators may have been assembled with a gear pump containing a damaged O-ring resulting in a lack of brake fluid pressure.

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   Insufficient brake fluid pressure may lengthen the distance needed to stop the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   ADVICS has notified the vehicle manufacturers that purchased the brake actuators. Those manufacturers have filed recalls with NHTSA and will notify the affected owners. Dealers will inspect and replace the actuators, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on March 31, 2016. Owners may contact ADVICS customer service at 1-513-696-5450.

2. 15E047000Received 3 Jun 2015. 8,874 units.

   Service Brakes, Hydraulic / Antilock/Traction Control/Electronic Limited Slip / Control Unit/Module

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   ADVICS North America, Inc. (ADVICS) is recalling certain antil-lock brake system (ABS) Actuators manufactured December 4, 2014, to December 23, 2014. These ABS actuators may have contamination in the solenoid valves, potentially affecting the valves ability to completely close and allow a build up of hydraulic brake pressure, or fully open and allow the hydraulic brake pressure to completely drop.

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   Under some driving conditions, when the ABS is activated, the malfunctioning ABS actuator could cause a loss of vehicle stability, increasing the risk of a crash.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   ADVICS has notified the affected vehicle manufacturers. The vehicle manufacturers will contact the vehicle owners, and their dealers will inspect and replace the ABS actuator, as necessary, free of charge.

   Products named: Advics Abs Actuator.

3. 10E051000Received 27 Oct 2010. 1,228,544 units.

   Service Brakes, Hydraulic / Foundation Components / Master Cylinder

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   Advics is recalling certain brake master cylinders installed as original equipment in certain toyota and honda passenger vehicles. Brake fluid containing polymers is used that acts as a lubricant for certain brake system components. If replacement brake fluid is used that does not contain such polymers, or that contains only small amounts, a part of the rubber seal located at the rear of the brake master cylinder may become dry, and the seal may curl during movement of the piston. If this occurs, a small amount of brake fluid could slowly leak from the seal into the brake booster.

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   A leak of brake fluid could lead to a change in brake pedal feel and, over time, a degradation in braking performance increasing the risk of a crash.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   Owners of the defective brake master cylinders will be notified by their vehicle manufacturer. The safety recall began on november 15, 2010. Owners may contact toyota at 1-800-331-4331 and lexus at 1-800-255-3987 and honda owners may contact honda at 1-800-999-1009. See toyota recall campaign no. 10v-499 and honda recall campaign no. 10v-504.
