Manufacturer : BRAKE PARTS, INC.
Manufacturer’s Report Number : N/A
NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID Number : 06E022000
Mfg's Report Date : MAR 09, 2006
Component: Aftermarket - SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
Potential Number Of Units Affected :7440
Summary: Certain aftermarket brake hydraulic master cylinders sold as replacement brake cylinders for certain ford, daimlerchrysler, and jeep passenger vehicles. These brake cylinders were sold under the brand names of Napa, Raybestos, Aimco, AC Delco, Carquest, and Bendix. When subject to very cold temperatures, an internal seal in the master cylinder could lose flexibility and may cause brake fluid to leak.
Consequence: Loss of brake fluid can lead to a decrease in brake line pressure and an increase in stopping distance, which can result in a vehicle crash.
Remedy: Affinia (Brake Parts, inc.) Will replace the subject brake hydraulic master cylinders free of charge. The recall is expected to begin during March 2006. Owners can contact Affina group customer service at 1-800-323-0354.
Notes: this recall only pertains to aftermarket Napa, Raybestos, AC Delco, Aimco, Carquest, and Bendix brake hydraulic master cylinders and has no relation to any original equipment installed on DaimlerChrysler or Ford vehicles. Customers can also contact the national highway traffic safety administration’s vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safecar.gov.
