THE PHASE 1, D-VERSION HYDRAULIC ABS MAY NOT DETECT AN EXTREME WHEEL SPEED SENSOR AIR GAP THAT CAN BE CREATED BY PLACING THE SENSOR A SIGNIFICANT DISTANCE FROM ITS INTENDED POSITION WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY.

THEREFORE, THE ABS DOES NOT COMPLY WITH FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD 105, “HYDRAULIC AND ELECTRIC BRAKE SYSTEMS.”

What the record doesn’t say

  • NHTSA’s recall file doesn’t say whether anyone was hurt.
  • Which ones, by part or lot: the recall’s report on NHTSA’s site gives them where the maker did; this file gives part numbers only where its maker listed them.
  • How many have been returned or fixed isn’t in the notice.
