The problem
Rosenbauer Motors (Rosenbauer) is recalling certain 2012-2015 Commander vehicles manufactured January 1, 2012, to May 1, 2015. The brake pedal piston on the affected vehicles may corrode, causing the brake pedal to stick or be difficult to activate.
The risk
If the piston corrodes, the brakes may be difficult to activate or the brakes may drag and overheat. Either scenario can increase the risk of a crash.
The fix
Rosenbauer will notify owners, and dealers will install a solid spacer plate, pedal base, piston and piston seal, sealing this assembly to prevent contamination, free of charge. The recall began on May 1, 2016. Owners may contact Rosenbauer customer service at 1-651-462-1000.
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
