Recall 83V105000: Brake Proportioning Valve Defect

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

VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER VEHICLES.

SYSTEM: SERVICE BRAKES; BRAKE PROPORTIONER VALVES.

CONSEQUENCES OF DEFECT: SINCE THIS IS A DUAL BRAKE SYSTEM, PART OF THE SYSTEM WILL STILL WORK AND ALLOW THE VEHICLE TO BE STOPPED, BUT OVER A GREATER DISTANCE. PARTIAL LOSS OF THE BRAKING SYSTEM AT A TIME WHEN MINIMUM STOPPING DISTANCE IS REQUIRED COULD RESULT IN A VEHICLE ACCIDENT WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING.
