What's wrong, in plain English

Some Ford Bronco Sport vehicles have an Anti-lock Brake System module that may have been damaged during manufacturing. Valves inside the module can be damaged, causing the module to leak internally. This leak can affect how the brakes respond, leading to the brake pedal traveling further than expected or the vehicle moving unexpectedly during an Auto Hold event. This means the brakes may not respond the way the driver expects.
