1992: “The contact owns a 1992 Chevrolet Caprice Classic. While driving approximately 20 MPH, the brakes failed when the contact attempted to stop at a stop sign. The contact shifted the vehicle into a low gear and allowed it to coast to a complete stop. She took the vehicle to a local mechanic and they discovered a leak from the ABS modulator. The dealer stated that her VIN was not included in NHTSA campaign id number 97v217000 (service brakes, hydraulic:antilock), although the failures were identical. The contact would be responsible for the repair costs. The vehicle has not yet been repaired. …”
