A possible issue with the aluminium valve block in the brake system may mean it is not fully sealed around the valves. This could cause brake fluid to leak internally from one or more of the 12 valve seats, lowering fluid levels and disabling stability control due to pressure sensor damage. Brake fluid may also contact the circuit board, disabling all control functions including anti-lock braking and electronic brakeforce distribution.
