Component:

Service brakes, hydraulic:foundation components:disc:caliper

Manufactured:

07/31/1980 - 09/30/1980

Affected:

Defect:

On certain vehicles, porous spots may have developed on the interior surface of the threaded hole for the brake hose during the moulding process. these spots allow brake fluid to seep from the calipers during heavy brake applications.

Correction:

Both front brake calipers will be inspected for brake fluid seepage and will be replaced, if necessary, without charge.

Notes:

Vehicle description: passenger vehicles.system: service brakes; hydraulic disc caliper.consequences of defect: prolonged seepage, which could occur on both frontcalipers, will reduce the brake fluid level in the reservoir. this could leadto a brake failure and vehicle accident.
