AS FOR THE RECALLS

1. recall no: 04V296000 service brakes, hydraulic
on certain vehicles, the electronic monitoring system of the sensotronic brake control is designed to monitor the pressure gradient within the high pressure line of the brake system. if an unacceptable pressure gradiant is detected, the system will switch, as it is designed to do, into the hydraulic function mode.

2. recall no: 05V133000 service brakes, hydraulic
on certain vehicles, the sensotronic brake control system may prematurely shift to the hydraulic back up function mode, die to deterioration of the wiring harness connection, or due to premature failure of the hydraulic pump.
