The ABS hydraulic control unit can experience excessive brake actuator piston seal wear causing pump-motor deterioration.
Risk
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.
Remedy
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.

We own a 1991 plymouth grand voyager. On january 9, 2006 the ABS warning light illuminated. We had the brakes of our plymouth grand voyager supposedly fixed by crown chrysler in greensboro, nc at this time. We bought the car to the dealership based on the federal safety agency campaign id number 96v099000 (service brakes, hydraulic; antilock). In october of 2007, the ABS brakes quit working again. The ABS warning light illuminated. After talking to our mechanic, we finally bought the car back to the dealership in greensboro on january 25, 2008. The dealer stated that the ABS cab controller needed to be replaced. However, the part was no longer being manufactured. He advised us to check with a salvage yard for parts. After taking the car to the dealer to check the ABS and brake light , my husband looked under the hood and found brake fluid spilled over the entire master cylinder. The brake fluid level was empty after the dealer checked the car out and returned it to us. Since this recall had a lifetime warranty on it, it should be the dealers responsibility to fix the ABS brake system without charge.
