The issue

6000 STE MODELS ONLY. ON VEHICLES WITH ANTI-LOCK BRAKES, THE ABS RELAY AND/OR THE HYDRAULIC PUMP MOTOR RELAY MAY BECOME INOPERATIVE DUE TO CORROSION. AN INOPERATIVE ABS RELAY COULD CAUSE THE LOSS OF THE ABS FUNCTION. ALSO, A LOSS OF THE HYDRAULIC PUMP MOTOR RELAY COULD CAUSE THE LOSS OF THE REAR BRAKES AS WELL AS POWER ASSIST TO THE FRONT BRAKES. THIS COULD RESULT IN INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCES AND VEHICLE CRASH WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING. CORRECTION: RELAYS WILL BE REPLACED.

Description (français)

Sur les véhicules dotés d'un circuit de freinage antiblocage, la corrosion peut attaquer le relais du circuit antiblocage et/ou le relais de la pompe hydraulique. Si le relais du circuit antiblocage tombe en panne, le circuit risque de cesser de fonctionner. Par ailleurs, une défectuosité du relais de la pompe hydraulique peut rendre les freins arrière inutilisables et provoquer la perte d'assistance aux freins avant. Le mauvais fonctionnement des freins peut allonger la distance de freinage au point de provoquer un accident.
