Recall 91V-003: 1989–1990 Jeep Cherokee, 1989–1990 Jeep Wagoneer
CHRYSLER CORPORATION recall for service brakes, hydraulic, reported to NHTSA on Oct 2, 1991, covering about 33,000 vehicles.
The problem
There may be hydraulic fluid contamination from condensation formation that can plug the ABS brake booster pump filter; stress corrosion of the master cylinder snap ring has been traced to chlorine leaking from the low pressure hydraulic hose which may cause it to break; front brake hose to tire interference which may cause failure of the brake hose.
The risk
Contamination of the hydraulic fluid can causemalfunctioning of the anti-lock brake system; low pressure hose leakage causesloss of brake fluid and also results in corrosion and failure of the mastercylinder snap ring, resulting complete brake failure; failure of the front brakehose due to hose to tire interference will cause failure of one half of thebrake system resulting in a longer stopping distance than expected.
The fix
Replace ABS low pressure hose; rebuild master brake cylinder; inspect, service interference problems, and replace front brake hose as necessary.
Notes
System: hydraulic fluid contamination; anti-lock brake system (Abs).vehicle description: multi-purpose vehicles equipped with anti-lock brakesystem.
