Recall 1991007

The issue

ON VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS), MATERIALS USED IN THE MANUFACTURE AND INSTALLATION OF THE ABS LOW PRESSURE HOSE MAY CONTAMINATE THE BRAKE FLUID IN TWO DIFFERENT WAYS AND IMPAIR THE PROPER FUNCTIONING OF THE ABS SYSTEM. ONE FORM OF CONTAMINATION COULD RESULT IN PLUGGING OF THE ABS BOOSTER PUMP FILTER RESULTING IN LOSS OF ABS FUNCTION. THE OTHER COULD CAUSE STRESS CORROSION FAILURE OF A MASTER CYLINDER SNAP RING RESULTING IN BRAKE DRAG. CORRECTION: ABS LOW PRESSURE HOSE WILL BE REPLACED WITH ONE HAVING A DIFFERENT MATERIAL AND THE MASTER CYLINDER WILL BE REBUILT WITH A NEW PISTON ASSEMBLY CONTAINING A THICKER SNAP RING.

Description (français)

Sur les véhicules équipés du système de freinage antiblocage (ABS), les matériaux utilisés dans la fabrication et l'installation du tuyau ABS de basse pression peuvent contaminer le liquide de frein de deux façons et entraver le bon fonctionnement de l'ABS. La première peut entraîner I'encrassment du filtre de la pompe de pressurisation ABS, ce qui neutraliserait I'ABS. La deuxième peut entraîner une défaillance par corrosion sous contrainte de la bague de blocage du maître-cylindre, causant du freinage résiduel.
