Details

What's wrong:

Why it matters: If either the master cylinder or power brake booster is subsequently serviced with only one of the correct brake booster or master cylinder parts, brake performance would be reduced.

The fix: Dealers will install the correct contour brake booster and master cylinder in each of these vehicles. Owner notification began January 28, 2002.
