SAFETY RECALL TO REPAIR YOUR VEHICLE'S BRAKE
MASTER CYLINDER AND HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT
Dear Chrysler Vehicle Owner:
This notice is sent to you in accordance with the requirements of the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act.
Chrysler Corporation has determined that two defects which relate to motor vehicle safety exist in some 1996 and 1996 Dodge Stratus, Chrysler Cirrus
and 1996 Plymouth Breeze vehicles equipped with anti-lock brakes.
The Problems are...
The brake master cylinder rear piston seal on your vehicle (identified on the enclosed form), may leak and cause a partial brake system loss. The brake
warning light will turn on to signal system impairment. If this warning is ignored, an increase in stopping distance could result in an accident. Also,
corrosion of the anti-lock brake system hydraulic control unit may occur and may result In sticking solenoid valves. If either front wheel valve sticks, the
vehicle may pull to one side when the brakes are applied, which could cause an accident without prior warning.
What Chrysler and your dealer will do...
Chrysler will repair your vehicle free of charge (parts and labor). To do this, your dealer will inspect your brake master cylinder and if necessary, replace
the primary piston and seal assembly. Also, a reinforcement plate will be added and grease will be injected into the hydraulic control unit. The work will
take about one and one-half hours to complete. However, additional time may be necessary depending on how dealer appointments are scheduled and
processed.
What you must do to ensure your safety...
^
Simply contact your dealer right away to schedule a service appointment Ask the dealer to hold the parts for your vehicle or to order them before
your appointment

Bring the enclosed Owner Notification Form with you to your dealer. It explains the required service to the dealer.
