- Campaign:
- 82V123000 on 12/14/1982
- Component:
- Service brakes, hydraulic:foundation components:hoses, lines/piping, and fittings
- Manufactured:
- 07/31/1982 - 10/31/1982
- Affected:
- 50,000

- Notes:
- Vehicle description: passenger vehicles.system: service brakes; hydraulic brake tubing.consequences of defect: continued chafing will eventually wear a hole in thetubing and result in loss of brake fluid and partial loss of brakingcapability, which could cause an accident.note: the brake warning light should alert operator to the partial system loss.
- Campaign:
- 83V060000 on 06/30/1983
- Component:
- Service brakes, hydraulic:foundation components:hoses, lines/piping, and fittings
- Manufactured:
- 04/30/1983 - 04/30/1983
- Affected:
- 3,785
- Defect:
- Location of hydraulic brake tube to both rear wheels causes interference and chafing between the tubes and rear suspension trailing arm pivot brackets.

- Campaign:
- 89V052000 on 04/12/1989
- Component:
