Defect in the braking system (ABS modulator). ■ Defective component: Braking system (ABS modulator). ■ Noncompliant structure, equipment or performance and its cause: In the ABS (anti-lock braking system) modulator, improper management of the grease application equipment resulted in excessive grease being applied to the reservoir piston O-ring in some units.
