JUNE 13

321,000 vehicles recalled

1993 DODGE DYNASTY -- The ABS hydraulic control unit can experience excessive brake actuator piston seal wear causing pump-motor deterioration.

If this condition occurs, the ABS function could be lost and reduced power assist would be experienced during vehicle braking increasing the potential for a vehicle accident.

Dealers will test the vehicle's anti-lock brake system and repair the vehicles if necessary. Also the warranty on all ABS components will be extended to 10 years or 100,000 miles (except for the brake actuator piston assembly and the pump-motor assembly which will have a lifetime coverage). Owners will also be reimbursed for previous ABS component repair costs. For detailed information & supporting documents, see the official NHTSA page concerning recall #96V099000 »
