as aftermarket or replacement parts for 2004-2018 Volkswagen Jetta, and 2012-2019 Volkswagen Beetle
vehicles. The fluid seal crimp on the master cylinder may be insufficient, causing brake fluid to leak or the
cylinder to come apart. If there is a brake fluid leak, it can reduce braking ability, increasing the risk of a crash.
Beck/Arnley will notify the distributors that sold the master cylinders and will work with the distributors to notify
the end users. Affected master cylinders will be exchanged for a new master cylinder (part number 072-9990),

Hook combination sold between November 2019 and August 2020. Due to an out of position pivot hole on the
base component, there may be reduced engagement between the T-latch and the base, possibly preventing the
upper moveable jaw from securely locking in the closed position. If the pintle hook comes unlocked, the towed
vehicle may separate, increasing the risk of a crash. Horizon will work with dealers and distributors to notify
owners, and replace the affected pintle hooks, free of charge. Owners may contact Horizon customer service at

secured in the open or closed position, wind resistance may cause the cover to flip and buckle. If this occurs, the
hinges between the center and rear panel may deform, possibly allowing the rear panel to separate from the
vehicle. A separated panel may become a road hazard, increasing the risk of crash or injury. Honda will notify all
registered owners of 2017-2020 Honda Ridgelines, and dealers will install tethers onto any Honda Genuine

Oshkosh Corporation (Oshkosh) is recalling certain Bendix Pressure Switches, part number 4133101, sold as
aftermarket parts. The plastic threads holding the two halves of the pressure switch may strip when the switch is
pressurized, resulting in an air leak which, if severe enough, can cause the air system to lose pressure when the
brakes are applied. Failure of the front and rear brake switches will also result in a loss of brake light
functionality. As a result of a pressure switch air leak, the braking distance may be diminished and/or the
parking brake may automatically engage. If the vehicle is equipped with an affected brake switch on both the

charge. Owners may contact Stoughton customer service at 1-352-593-5900.
