Do recalls that affect safety ever expire?
All,

Doing some searching I found --------------------------------------------------------------------- Recall Number: 69V039000 Build Years/Makes/Models: 1967 - 1968 CHEVROLET C60 1967 - 1968 CHEVROLET C50 1967 - 1968 CHEVROLET C40 1967 - 1968 CHEVROLET S60 1967 - 1968 CHEVROLET S40 1967 - 1968 CHEVROLET S50 1967 - 1969 GMC E4500 1967 - 1969 GMC E5500 1967 - 1969 GMC S5500 1967 - 1969 GMC S6500 1967 - 1969 GMC E6500 UNits affected: 163493 Recall Number: 69V039000 Summary: Consequence: Remedy: Notes: POSSIBILITY THAT SEAL ON PISTON IN MASTER BRAKE CYLINDER MAY, AFTER EXTENDEDUSAGE, ALLOW BRAKE FLUID TO PASS SEAL PERMITTING BRAKE PEDAL TO BE PUSHED TOFLOOR IN A SLOW GRADUAL STOP OR UPON THE FIRST AP- PLICATION OF BRAKES AFTERVEHICLE HAS BEEN STANDING FOR A PERIOD OF TIME.IS ALSO A POSSIBILITY THATINNER LINER OF VACUUM HOSE WHICH CONNECTS TO BRAKE VACUUM BOOSTER MAY COLLAPSE,CAUSING LOSS OF POWER BRAKE ASSIST.(CORRECT BY INSTALLING NEW PARTS IN BRAKEMASTER CYLINDER AND MODIFYING VACUUM HOSE ROUT- ING.) ------------------------------------------------------------- Would GM still stand by this recall?
