How this compares

Most-affected system
PARKING BRAKE — 1 of 2 (50%)

Derived from the federal campaign record across 1983 vehicles in the same body class. Counts are of campaigns, not of faults found.

  • 83V092000

    PARKING BRAKE:CONVENTIONAL:MECHANICAL:LINKAGE AND CABLE

    PARKING BRAKE CABLES CONTAIN INCORRECT SPRINGS. THESE SPRINGS FAIL TO COMPLY WITH FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 105, "HYDRAULIC BRAKE SYSTEMS".

    Remedy: DEALER WILL INSPECT AND INSTALL NEW REAR PARKING BRAKE CABLE IF NECESSARY.

  • 83V105000

    SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DIFFERENTIAL PROPORTIONAL VALVE

    THE BRAKE PROPORTIONER VALVES MAY BREAK AND SEPARATE FROM THE MASTER CYLINDER. THIS WOULD ALLOW BRAKE FLUID TO LEAK AND WOULD RESULT IN A PARTIAL LOSS OF THE BRAKE SYSTEM.

    Remedy: THE DEALER WILL INSPECT AND, IF NECESSARY, REPLACE ALL SUSPECT VALVES.
