## What is wrong

VEHICLE DESCRIPTION:  VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM \(ABS\).    THE ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM \(ABS\) HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT CAN EXPERIENCE EXCESSIVE BRAKE ACTUATOR PISTON SEAL WEAR WHICH COULD CAUSE PUMP\-MOTOR DETERIORATION.


## What can happen

IF THIS OCCURS, THE ABS FUNCTION WOULD BE LOSE AND REDUCED POWER ASSIST WOULD BE EXPERIENCED DURING VEHICLE BRAKING.  THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WARNING LIGHTS WILL SIGNAL SYSTEM IMPAIRMENT AND THE BASE MANUAL BRAKES WILL REMAIN FUNCTIONAL.


## The remedy

DEALERS WILL TEST THE VEHICLE'S ABS AND REPAIR AS NECESSARY.  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 BE REIMBURSED FOR PREVIOUS ABS COMPONENT REPAIR COSTS.
