Recall 1981078

The issue

VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH POWER BRAKES. POWER BRAKE BOOSTERS MAY HAVE BEWEN IMPROPERLY ASSEMBLED BY SUPPLIER. MIS-INDEXING OF REAR SHELL OF SOME BOOSTERS RELATIVE TO THE FRONT SHELL MAY HAVE RESULTED IN INADEQUATE CRIMPING OF THE TWO SHELLS. IF BOOSTER WERE TO SEPARATE DURING VEHICLE OPERATION, COMPLETE LOSS OF SERVICE BRAKES WOULD RESULT.

Description (français)

Les chambres à dépression du servofrein peuvent avoir été mal assemblées par le fournisseur. Un mauvais alignement de la chambre avant et de la chambre arrière peut provoquer un mauvais sertissage des deux chambres. Si ces chambres se séparaient au cours de l'utilisation du véhicule, il en résulterait une perte totale de freinage.
