   Service Brakes, Hydraulic / Foundation Components / Master Cylinder

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   Brake Parts, Inc. (Brake Parts) is recalling certain brake master cylinders sold under Raybestos, NAPA, and AC Delco brands, part numbers MC391232, M4840, and 18M2578, respectively sold as aftermarket replacement parts for 2012-2017 Volkswagen Beetle, 2005-2018 Volkswagen Jetta and 2007-2010 Volkswagen Jetta GLI. The crimping of the aluminum housing may be insufficient, allowing the master cylinder piston to pop out of the housing.

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   If the piston pops out of the master cylinder housing, a complete loss of braking or unintended brake application can occur, increasing the risk of a crash. Owners may initially notice brake fluid leaking onto the vacuum booster, or a change in brake pedal travel and feel.

5. 08E027000Received 28 Mar 2008. 5,700 units.

   Steering / Linkages / Tie Rod Assembly

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   Affinia is recalling 5,700 aftermarket chassis tie rod assemblies manufactured from march 28, 2006 through march 17, 2008, sold for use on my 1998 and 1999 dodge ram 2500 and 3500 heavy duty trucks. The dust seal supplied with the chassis tie rods were manufactured to the wrong specification. As a consequence, the dust seal may prevent the ball stud of the chassis tie rod from properly seating into the taper of the vehicle steering knuckle during aftermarket installation.

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   If this condition remains undetected, the bolt can eventually unseat completely, causing the affected wheel to disengage from the steering mechanism, possibly resulting in a crash.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   Affinia will notify owners and replace the affected chassis tie rod assemblies free of charge. The recall is expected to begin during april 2008. Owners may contact affinia at 734-827-5400.
