ONE FORM OF CONTAMINATION COULD RESULT IN PLUGGING OF THE ABS BOOSTER PUMP FILTER RESULTING IN LOSS OF ABS FUNCTION. THE OTHER COULD CAUSE STRESS CORROSION FAILURE OF A MASTER CYLINDER SNAP RING RESULTING IN BRAKE DRAG. CORRECTION: ABS LOW PRESSURE HOSE WILL BE REPLACED WITH ONE HAVING A DIFFERENT MATERIAL AND THE MASTER CYLINDER WILL BE REBUILT WITH A NEW PISTON ASSEMBLY CONTAINING A THICKER SNAP RING.

A campaign lists a year, a make and a model, and often only some of the vehicles built. A list with nothing on it is not a clearance either. The lookups below check one VIN.
