Moved to the News section.

Did a little digging and this is what I found:

General Motors (GM) has recalled over 40,000 containers of ACDelco GMW DOT 3 brake and clutch fluid (part number 19353126) due to visible sediment that can reduce braking performance. The recall specifically targets lot number 01977 091222, produced in 2022, and is limited to this batch. [1, 2, 3]
Key Details of the Recall

• Affected Product: ACDelco GMW DOT 3 Brake and Clutch Fluid, Part # 19353126.
• Lot Number: 01977 091222.
• Safety Hazard: Sediment in the fluid, resulting from a production error that failed to filter out additives, can cause decreased braking efficiency and increase the risk of a crash.
• Scope: The affected fluid was sold to dealers and direct purchasers between late 2022 and 2026.
• Action Required: Customers with the affected product should stop using it immediately. For more information, you can call GM customer service at 866-467-9700, referencing recall number N262552830. [1, 2, 4, 5]

No crashes or injuries have been reported in connection with this specific sediment issue as of early May 2026. [5, 6]

The recalled brake fluid was supplied to General Motors (GM) by DuPont Specialty Products, based in Midland, Michigan. [1, 2]
Regarding other potential recalls:

• Manufacturer Recall: There have been no separate recall announcements for DuPont's own branded fluids. The issue reported by GM was specific to two additives that formed sediment during the manufacturing or bottling of the ACDelco-branded batch.
• Batch Specificity: GM has stated that the problem is strictly confined to the single 2022 production lot (01977 091222) of ACDelco GMW DOT 3 fluid. Other production lots and variations of the fluid have not been included in the recall. [3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8]

If you have a bottle of brake fluid, you can check the lot number printed on the container to see if it matches the recalled batch.

Since it's from a batch from 2022, unless it sat on a shelf since then (either yours or at the dealer/store), might not be too relevant but still good to know.
