- Notes
- Checker campaign no n/a.possibility that the single diaphragm brake vacuumpower booster was assembled with dimensional discrepancies in the vacuum powerbooster housing which may reduce the torque required to unlock the front halfof the housing from the rear half.if this condition exists, the low unlockingtorque coupled with other variations in the assembly may cause housing torotate and disengage from the locking tabs resulting in separation of the twohalves of the booster and complete loss of brakes.(correct by inspecting andstaking the housing at two points to preclude rotation of the housing).

Has your Checker been repaired?
Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.
NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A Checker dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.
