Do recalls that affect safety ever expire?

All,

I've got a 68 C50 Dump truck. The Master B/C is loosing fluid out the top when pressure builds on a long/hard brake.

Doing some searching I found

Would GM still stand by this recall? I know the best answer is to call but curious if anyone has been in a similar situation
