Recall 1985029

The issue

VEHICLES MAY HAVE BEEN PRODUCED WITH BRAKE MASTER CYLINDERS THAT HAVE IMPROPERLY ANODIZED INTERNAL SURFACES. THIS COULD CAUSE ACCELERATED WEAR OF A MASTER CYLINDER PISTON SEAL TO THE EXTENT THAT ONE PORTION OF THE SPLIT BRAKE SYSTEM BECOMES INEFFECTIVE. THIS WOULD INCREASE STOPPING DISTANCES AND COULD RESULT IN A VEHICLE CRASH.

Description (français)

La surface interne des maîtres-cylindres de ces véhicules a été mal anodisée en usine. Cela peut entraîner l'usure rapide du joint d'étanchéité d'un des pistons au point d'altérer l'efficacité d'une section du circuit double de freinage. Il s'ensuit une augmentation des distances d'arrêt et un risque d'accident.
