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. The master cylinder piston may be in a "brake applied" position due to the damaged piston retainer snap ring. When the piston is in the applied position, the fluid compensation ports are closed which results in a brake drag condition.
The risk
If the brake overheat, brake fading could lead to an increase in needed stopping distance. Should a driver not anticipate the extra stopping distance, this condition could cause a crash.
The fix
Dealers will replace the brake master cylinder.

The problem
Vehicle description: passenger vehicles. The molding flash on the primary lever may prevent the operation of the g-lock and tilt lock functions on some of the driver's side retractors.
The risk
