The problem
Corrosion of the ABS hydraulic control unit can cause the solenoid valves to stick in the open position.
The risk
If either front wheel valve sticks, the vehicle would swerve from a straight stop when the brakes are applied.
The fix
Dealers will install a plate and silicone grease injected into the solenoid cavity to eliminate the potential for this condition.
