Recall 2004023

The issue

On certain vehicles, the ABS Modulator valve cover retaining bolts can crack due to stresses transmitted by the flexing valve covers. This is a result of significant operation of traction or hill descent control, primarily associated with extensive off-road use. This defect can produce an unexpected increase in stopping distance, with the potential for total loss of service braking function, which would increase the likelihood of a crash. Correction: Dealer will strengthen the ABS Modulator assembly valve covers and replace the retaining bolts.

Description (français)

Sur certains véhicules, les boulons de retenue du couvercle de la soupape ABS pourraient se fendiller à cause de tensions transmises par les couvercles des soupapes flexibles, résultant du fonctionnement intense du système de contrôle de motricité en descente ou de l'antipatinage, associé principalement à une grande utilisation hors route. Ce défaut pourrait produire une augmentation inattendue des distances de freinage et causer une panne complète du frein au pied, ce qui augmenterait les possibilités d'accident. Correction : Le concessionnaire devra renforcer les couvercles des soupapes ABS et remplacer les boulons de retenue.
