What is wrong
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.
The risk
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.
The fix
Replace the brake assembly.
Notes from the manufacturer
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.
