The short answer

NHTSA received ARROW AUTOMOTIVE IND.,INC’s report on Aug 8, 1983. Copied from NHTSA on Oct 20, 2026.

Every line below is in NHTSA’s own words, with its source beside it.

What’s wrong with it?

The notice gives no hazard in a field of its own.

SHELL ASSEMBLIES OF THE BOOSTER MAY SEPARATE AND FAIL TO TRANSMIT NECESSARY FORCES TO MASTER CYLINDERS.

THIS PROBLEM IS DUE TO INSUFFICIENT CRIMPING OF SHELL MEMBERS TO RESIST SHOCK AND VIBRATION IN SERVICE.

A SEPARATE DEFECT EXISTS IN POWER BOOSTERS ASSEMBLED WITH MASTER CYLINDERS.

THESE ASSEMBLIES MAY NOT HAVE THE CORRECT MASTER CYLINDER ATTACHED.

THE MASTER CYLINDER MAY NOT TRANSMIT FORCES FROM THE BRAKE PEDAL TO THE REAR BRAKE SYSTEM.

THE TWO DEFECTS ARE MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE; THERE ARE NO POWER BRAKE BOOSTERS WITH INADEQUATE CRIMPS THAT ALSO HAVE THE INCORRECT MASTER CYLINDER ATTACHED.

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.
