Affected:
160
Defect:

Component:
Service brakes, hydraulic:foundation components:hoses, lines/piping, and fittings
Manufactured:
02/28/1990 - 02/28/1991
Affected:
17,000
Defect:
Improper insertion/crimping of the hose-to-end fittings of the high pressure hose on the anti-lock brake system can cause detachment of the hose from the abs system, and discharge of hydraulic fluid.
Consequence:
Detachment of the hose from the abs system causes theloss of the abs function and hydraulic brake assist, leaving only manual brakesand decreasing stopping ability, which could result in an accident. discharge ofhydraulic fluid in the area of the hot exhaust system could result in an enginecompartment fire.
Correction:
Replace the abs high pressure hose.
Notes:
System: anti-lock brake system; abs high pressure hose attachment to end unit.vehicle description: multipurpose passenger vehicle.

Affected:
52,000
Defect:
Vehicle description: vehicles equipped with antilock brake system (abs). the antilock brake system (abs) hydraulic control unit can experience excessive brake actuator piston seal wear which could cause pump-motor deterioration.
Consequence:
If this occurs, the abs function would be lose and reduced power assist would be experienced during vehicle braking. the instrument panel warning lights will signal system impairment and the base manual brakes will remain functional.
Correction:
Dealers will test the vehicle's abs and repair as necessary. the warranty on all abs components will be extended to 10 years or 100,000 miles (except for the brake actuator piston assembly and the pump-motor assembly which will have a lifetime coverage). owners will be reimbursed for previous abs component repair costs.

Consequence:
The reduced strength can allow the cast iron wear surface to separate from the hub, reducing the brake effectiveness of the vehicle.
Correction:
Dealers will replace these rotors with rotors that are coated with a corrosion protection.
