Service brakes, hydraulic: foundation components, master cylinder
NHTSA campaign 00V180000 · reported July 10, 2000 · DAIMLERCHRYSLER CORPORATION · 160 vehicles potentially affected
- The problem
- Vehicle description: non-abs equipped passenger vehicles. The brake master cylinder piston retainer snap ring may have been bent inward during the assembly process.

- Dealers will replace the brake master cylinder.
