Master cylinder cap recall - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Dont know if this was already posted. But apparently there is a recall on the cap on the master cylinder. I had fluid all over the top of my MC and took it to the dealer, they told me it was recalled. Checked my wife's 2013 and she has fluid all over the top of hers too. Check it out guys. Dont know the new part #.

I noticed the same thing with my 2012 last week I guess I need to take in to the dealer I have a list of things for them to look at.

I checked mine and all it's all dry. My 2010 SS did leak like some back then but was due to being overfilled at factory.

Speedforhire · 10-10-2012, 06:30 PM

Yes, mine leaks alot. I've wiped it a dozen times allready. Glad they did a recall on it.

Now if I can isolate the clunking sound I'll be allright.

Great... My 01 SS leaks all the time. I hope this isn't happening with the ZL1 now.

I guess I'll wait for the recall and take it to the dealer.

Is it a recall or simple TSB?

Because having your brake fluid leaking out is in no way dangerous, cant imagine doing a recall cause that would cost money.........

Are you referring to the clunking sound I shared the audio of last week?

Godsplumber · 10-10-2012, 10:58 PM

I also had them deal with my dashboard emblem, and the molding at the bottoms of my windows.

Camarowguy · 10-10-2012, 11:47 PM

I replaced my cap a few months back and it still gets fluid on the master cylinder. Is there an improved cap now?

Godsplumber · 10-11-2012, 01:22 AM

I guess

hognutz · 10-11-2012, 12:04 PM

Mine is bone dry but I only have 2k on the car.

Is the TSB just a new cap? or some kind of seal they add.
