626 LX L4-2.0L DOHC (1999)
Brake Master Cylinder: Recalls
Recall 00V074000: Brake Reservoir Cap Defect
Certain reservoir tank caps on the brake master cylinder were produced with a worn out die and lack ventilation holes. As a result, the pressure in the
reservoir tank can drop gradually as the brake pad or shoe wears and ambient temperature drops. Also, the pressure could reach a point that the brake
caliper and drum cylinder are pulled back by the vacuum in the reservoir tank when the vehicle is parked for a long time.
This condition could cause reduced brake efficiency, increasing the risk of a crash.
Dealers will inspect the reservoir cap and replace it, if necessary.
