4WD Switch: Recalls
Recall 99V193000: ABS 4WD Switch Defective
Description: Certain 4-wheel drive pickup trucks and sport utility vehicles equipped with ABS (antilock braking system) manufactured from September
1989 through August 1996.
Under certain driving conditions the switch which signals the ABS system whether the vehicle is in 2-wheel or 4-wheel drive can malfunction causing
increased stopping distances during ABS stops while in the two-wheel drive mode. If this occurred at a time when minimum stopping distance was
required, a vehicle crash could occur without prior warning.
Dealers will replace or repair the 4-wheel/2-wheel drive switch.
