The problem
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: 3-WHEEL ON-ROAD POLICE VEHICLES. TWO VALVE SWITCHES LOCATED ON THE MASTER CYLINDER THAT READS THE BRAKE LINE PRESSURE CAN GIVE FAULTY FAILURE CODES TO THE DASH OR NOT FAILURE CODE AT ALL.
Risk
A LOSS OF BRAKE LINE PRESSURE OR OTHER BRAKE RELATED PROBLEMS MIGHT NOT BE NOTICED BY THE OPERATOR, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
What owners should do
DEALERS WILL INSTALL A NEW BRAKE VALVE SWITCH. OWNER NOTIFICATION IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN APRIL 30, 2001. OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT RANSOMES/CUSHMAN AT 1-402-474-8568.
