Description

ON THE INVOLVED VEHICLES, THE NUTS WHICH ATTACH THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER TO THE HYDRO-BOOST UNIT MAY HAVE BEEN OVER-TIGHTENED. THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED STRIPPED THREADS AND CRACKED ATTACHING FLANGES. SHOULD THESE NUTS FAIL, THE PARTS MAY SEPARATE AND LOSS OF SERVICE BRAKES WOULD RESULT.
