Service brakes, hydraulic:foundation components:differential proportional valve

Manufactured:

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.

Correction:

The dealer will inspect and, if necessary, replace all suspect valves.

Notes:

Vehicle description: passenger vehicles.system: service brakes; brake proportioner valves.consequences of defect: since this is a dual brake system, part of the systemwill still work and allow the vehicle to be stopped, but over a greaterdistance. partial loss of the braking system at a time when minimum stoppingdistance is required could result in a vehicle accident without prior warning.
