NHTSA Recall 93V082000
NHTSA Campaign Id 93V082000; Date: May. 11, 1993
Lack of front wheel abs could cause the front wheelbrakes to lock, increasing stopping distance which may result in an accident.
Recalled Vehicles:
1993 Dodge Dakota; 1993 Dodge Ram Van
Component: Service Brakes, Hydraulic:antilock
Manufactured by: Chrysler Corporation
Affected Units:: 2,000
Recall Summary:
Some of the abs equipped vehicles were built with an undersized brake return check valve. In incidents where hard brake pedal effort is applied on low friction road surfaces, like rain covered streets, the valves may fail, causing the abs to become inoperative. This creates excess brake pedal travel and may cause the abs warning light to come on.
How to Fix:
Replace the return check valve with the correct valve.
Recall Notes:
System: brakes; anti-lock brakes (abs). Vehicle description: pick-up trucks with optional 4-wheel abs systems.
