1980 Land Rover 3500 recalls, newest first

August 15, 1980NHTSA 80V1070001,300 vehicles potentially affected

Service brakes, hydraulic › Foundation components › Master cylinder

Summary: The possibility exists that under high ambient/underhood temperatures, a chemical action may take place between any water content in the brake fluid and the brake spring in the master cylinder secondary piston chamber. As a result of this chemical action, a gas develops (hydrogen) which displaces the brake fluid causing a progressive increase in brake master cylinder piston travel with subsequent decrease in the efficiency of the rear braking system.
Remedy: The dealer will replace the brake master cylinder on the involved vehicles at no charge to owner.
