On certain vehicles, the pressure conscious reducing valve (PCRV) in each of the rear brakes may be subject to malfunction due to corrosion when operated in areas of high road salt use. If both PCRVs malfunction, vehicle handling may be adversely affected during braking as a result of the rear wheels locking, which could potentially result in a vehicle crash.
Dealers will install improved PCRVs in the rear brake system.

Transport Canada lists: Contour 1998–1999 · Mystique 1998–1999
Certain vehicles do not comply with CMVSS 205 - glazing materials. The windshields on were produced without the "AS1" mark as required by American National Standards Institute (ANSI) Z26.1. These windshields fully meet all of the requirements of Standard 205.
Since the absence of the AS1 mark is highly unlikely to produce any risk of injury, no corrective action will be taken.
