NHTSA recall 96V024001
Service Brakes, Hydraulic · Ford Motor Company
Details
What's wrong: The studs which attach the brake master cylinder to the power brake vacuum booster assembly can develop stress corrosion cracking after being operated for an extended period of time in the southern california location.
Why it matters: If a crack occurs, it could result in one or both studs fracturing. The master cylinder could then separate from the vacuum booster, when the brakes are applied, preventing the service brakes from activating increasing the risk of a vehicle accident.
The fix: Dealers will replace the power brake vacuum booster assembly.
