DEFECT #1 - SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:MASTER CYLINDER
Posted on: 1980-08-21
Description
The possibility exists that under high ambient/underhood temperatures, a chemical action may take place between any water content in the brake fluid and the brake spring in the master cylinder secondary piston chamber. As a result of this chemical action, a gas develops (hydrogen) which displaces the brake fluid causing a progressive increase in brake master cylinder piston travel with subsequent decrease in the efficiency of the rear braking system.
Consequence
Corrective Action
The dealer will replace the brake master cylinder on the involved vehicles at no charge to owner.
Notes
Vehicle description: passenger vehicles.system: service brakes; hydraulic, master cylinder pistons.consequences of defect: a decrease in rear brake efficiency would lengthen thestopping distance of vehicle, and in a sudden stop situation, could result inan accident.
