Recalls
3 recalls name the 1990 Chrysler New Yorker. Newest first.
The ABS hydraulic control unit can experience excessive brake actuator piston seal wear causing pump-motor deterioration.
Risk and remedy
Risk
If this condition occurs, the ABS function could be lost and reduced power assist would be experienced during vehicle braking increasing the potential for a vehicle accident.
Remedy
Dealers will test the vehicle's anti-lock brake system and repair the vehicles if necessary. Also the warranty on all ABS components will be extended to 10 years or 100,000 miles (except for the brake actuator piston assembly and the pump-motor assembly which will have a lifetime coverage). Owners will also be reimbursed for previous ABS component repair costs.
The anti-lock brake system high pressure hose may leak or detach at its crimped end fitting resulting in the discharge of hydraulic fluid.
Risk and remedy
Risk
Fluid discharge eventually causes the loss of both theanti-lock brake system and hydraulic assist for the brake system, resulting inincreased likelihood of brake lockup and increased stopping distances, whichcould result in a vehicle accident.
Remedy
Replace the ABS high pressure hose with a hose of different design and construction.
Water leaking under windshield cowl in area above heater blower motor resistor block results in corrosion of the resistor terminals.
Risk and remedy
Risk
Corrosion of the resistor terminals increases electricalresistance, leading to overheating and possble ignition of the wiring connectorsand insulation, causing a fire in the cowl area.
Remedy
The blower motor resistor block will be replaced, and a mastic patch applied to seal the cowl against water entry. Damaged wire connectors will be replaced.
