What the defect is
The brake pedal assembly has a pushrod pin that is too small and it is installed in the wrong position, causing an increased brake pedal ratio and a decreased master cylinder stroke.
What could happen
The reduced master cylinder stroke results in failure tomeet the partial system failure requirements of FMVSS 105, "hydraulic brakesystems". A further reduction in braking ability at a time when partial systemfailure has occurred could result in a vehicle crash.
What gets fixed
REPLACE THE BRAKE ASSEMBLY.

Your rights
A safety recall repair is free. Under US federal law the manufacturer must fix a safety defect at no cost to you — no charge for parts, labor or diagnosis — whether or not you are the original owner. A dealer cannot charge you for recall work, and cannot require you to have bought the vehicle from them.
That entitlement is not unlimited. It applies where the vehicle was first sold less than 15 years before the recall was announced — 5 years for tires. Past that a manufacturer may still do the repair free of charge, and many do, but they are no longer obliged to. This recall was reported on 3 September 1992.
To arrange the repair, contact any franchised dealer for the brand. If a dealer refuses the work or tries to charge for it, you can report that to NHTSA at nhtsa.gov/recalls or on 1-888-327-4236.

Everything on this page — the models listed, the build dates and the repair figures — comes from the manufacturer's filing to NHTSA and describes the vehicle line as a whole, not any individual car. Only the manufacturer can confirm whether a specific vehicle is affected, and whether its recall work has already been carried out. Check yours by VIN and read the official notice at nhtsa.gov/recalls.
Additional notes
System: brakes: brake pedal assembly; FMVSS 105.VEHICLE description: vans equipped with vacuum power brakes.note: FMVSS 105 requires that hydraulic brake systems have an emergency featurewhich stops the vehicle under specified conditions. All hydraulic brake systemsare designed with a split system. Each split works independently from the other.the partial system failure test of the FMVSS is performed with one of the splitsystems inoperative.
Check your own vehicle
This page describes the recall, not any one car. To see which recalls cover a specific vehicle, search by make, model and year.
A VIN lookup here identifies your vehicle and shows recalls issued for that make, model and year. It cannot tell you what is still open on your individual car - only the manufacturer knows that. Search by VIN instead, or check your VIN at nhtsa.gov for whether a recall is still open on your individual car.
