Chrysler Intrepid, Concorde: Brakes
Affects Chrysler Intrepid, Concorde · 2000 — about 40 vehicles.
The hazard
On certain vehicles, the brake master cylinder piston retainer snap ring may have been bent inward during the assembly process. The master cylinder piston may be in the "brake applied" position due to the damaged snap ring. When the piston is in the applied position, the fluid compensation ports are closed which results in a brake drag condition which could cause brake system overheating, brake fade and increased stopping distance. Correction: Master cylinder will be replaced.
