SUBJECT:
HYDRAULIC BRAKE BOOSTER ACCUMULATOR - SAFETY RECALL CAMPAIGN
This bulletin supercedes SR-01-008REV, which should be discarded. This bulletin contains revised accumulator discharge and disposal procedures. The
new procedures are marked by -->.
PURPOSE
The hydraulic brake booster (HBB) accumulator on affected vehicles may have been manufactured improperly, which over a period of time may result in
leakage of the pressurized nitrogen gas from inside the accumulator. The loss of this gas pressure may result in an abnormal noise from the left side of
the dash panel when the brakes are applied, and possibly a delayed first time brake boost assist after the vehicle has been parked for a period of time.
Replace the HBB accumulator with the new, improved parts listed in the PARTS INFORMATION section of this bulletin.
AFFECTED VEHICLES
2001-2002 Montero models produced before 6/20/01.
