The automaker said in rare cases an interruption in oil supply to a part can mean loss of power braking assist. The brakes will still work but the driver would have to press harder on the pedal, according to The Associated Press.
According to automaker, owners will be notified by mail to bring their cars in for repair. The company said that if brake assist power is lost, drivers should pull over and call roadside assistance.
