ISSUE :
On some Brake and Clutch Master Cylinders manufactured between November 2006 and March 2007, the fluid level eyesight may fall out and allow the fluid to drain out which could result in a crash and/or serious injury or death. This problem is due to a material defect detected by our Fluid Eyesight supplier.

If you do not feel comfortable performing this task, please send your master cylinder to : BERINGER USA. 4050 Spencer Street, Suite I, Torrance, CA 90503
The Eyesight will be replaced for you free of charge and the Master Cylinder returned to you, freight prepaid.
