Description:
Recall: 1993 Dodge Ram Van
Component: BRAKES:HYDRAULIC:ANTI-SKID SYSTEM
NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID Number: 93V082000
Manufacturer: CHRYSLER CORPORATION
Potential Number of Units Affected: 2000Summary:
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.
LACK OF FRONT WHEEL ABS COULD CAUSE THE FRONT WHEELBRAKES TO LOCK, INCREASING
STOPPING DISTANCE WHICH MAY RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT.
REPLACE THE RETURN CHECK VALVE WITH THE CORRECT VALVE.
SYSTEM: BRAKES; ANTI-LOCK BRAKES (ABS).
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PICK-UP TRUCKS WITH OPTIONAL 4-WHEEL ABS SYSTEMS.
