    Unwanted air is being drawn into the brake system when brake pedal is released. This is due to the use of the bendix master cylinder in combination with the bendix hydrovac.

    Remedy: Dealer will check to see if vehicle is equipped with a bendix master cylinder. If so, dealer will install a tube and hose assembly and repair brake system. If needed, a new wagner master cylinder will be installed.
