   Service Brakes, Hydraulic / Fluid

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   American Grease Stick Company (AGS) is recalling certain bottles of Carquest DOT5 Silicone Brake Fluid manufactured October 9, 2013, to September 15, 2015. The affected bottles may not clearly show the minimum wet equilibrium reflux boiling point (ERPB) rating, and may not contain the words "Motor Vehicle" on the label where the bottle identifies the contents as DOT Brake Fluid. As such, these bottles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 116, "Motor Vehicle Brake Fluids."

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   If a customer were confused by the label, they might use the wrong brake fluid, which could result in decreased braking performance and thereby increase the risk of a crash.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   AGS notified all of the known affected purchasers under the previous campaign of 15V-093. Bottles will be returned and relabeled with the correct label, free of charge. Owners may contact AGS customer service at 1-800-253-0403. Note: This recall supersedes recall 15V-093.

   Products named: Carquest DOT5 Silicone Brake Fluid.

   Electrical System / Ignition / Switch

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   UCI-FRAM Group is recalling certain LS1328 ignition Switches sold as Wells LS1328, Duralast LS1328, Airtex 1S6097, and Carquest 53-27479, and LS1497 Ignition Switches sold as Wells LS1497, Duralast LS1497, Airtex 1S10961, and Carquest 53-27967, for use on various General Motors model and model year vehicles during repair and replacement of the original ignition switch. The weight on the key ring and/or road conditions or some other jarring event may cause the affected ignition switches to move out of the run position, turning off the engine and disabling the air bags.

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   If the ignition switch moves from the run position to accessory, the car would stall and the air bags will not deploy in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of personal injury to the occupants.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   UCI-FRAM Group has notified its purchasers to quarantine and return all inventory. Any switches already installed in vehicles will be replaced by GM dealers as part of NHTSA recall 14V-047, free of charge. UCI-Fram's purchasers should contact UCI-FRAM Group at 1-800-890-2075. GM vehicle owners requiring additional information on that recall campaign should contact GM at 1-800-222-1020 (Chevrolet), 1-800-762-2737 (Pontiac) or 1-800-553-6000 (Saturn).

   Suspension

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   Federal mogul is recalling 6,903 aftermarket ball joint assemblies shipped between november 9, 2007 and march 26, 2008, which may have been packaged with incorrect nuts. The part numbers packaged with incorrect nuts are: k7147, k7329, k8683, and 104353. These parts were made for use on the various vehicles listed above.

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   The nuts included in the packaging for these ball joint assemblies are missing the intended prevailing torque (self-locking) feature. If the incorrect nut was to become loose, the joining members may loosen leading to a separation of the ball joint. This may result in loss of vehicle control, possibly resulting in a vehicle crash.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   Federal mogul will notify owners and replace the parts free of charge. The recall began on may 22, 2008. Owners can contact federal mogul at 877-489-6659.

   Service Brakes, Air

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   Certain federal-mogul national and carquest aftermarket hub assemblies, p/n 515058, sold for use on 2001-2006 general motors 1500 and 2500 4WD trucks. On the subject hub assemblies, the ABS sensor cord departs from the hub assembly at a 90 degree angle. As a result, there is a fit issue with the brake rotor dust shield interfering with the ABS sensor cord. If the hub assembly is installed despite this interference, the gap between the ABS sensor and the tone wheel may be altered. This may weaken the output of the ABS sensor. Diminished output could result in an unwanted ABS activation at low speeds and stopping distance could be affected.

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   If stopping distance is limited, a vehicle crash could occur.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   Federal-mogul will notify its owners and will either credit the customers account or replace the unit. The recall is expected to begin during june 2006. Owners can contact federal-mogul customer service at 1-800-563-8507 ext 3530.
