Lincoln campaign no 124. Equipped with hydralically powered brake boostersystem. Possibility that the hydraulically powered brake booster system mayhave an incorrectly installed pressure relief valve in the booster accumulatorthat could cause a build-up of excessive pressure in the accumulator. Thiscondition could result in fracturing the booster housing, separation of theaccumulator can and spring or discharge of a ball plug that seals an oilgallery in the housing. If the hood was open when separation occurs, a personstruck with a piece of the assembly could be injured. If the piece hit thebrake lines they could be damaged causing loss of fluid in one or both brakesystems. Loss of fluid pressure would follow separation of the boosterassembly with loss of power assist for both steering and brakes. (Correct byinspecting and replacing booster assembly on all vehicles involved).
