Recall notice
I'm posting this for an FYI only. I was searching for something else and this caught my eye, so I had to check it out. It came up as a recall notice for a 1970 Corvette, which seemed odd.
It's for a rear brake caliper remanufacturing issue due to bad piston seals that were remanufactured between 2/1/02 and 4/25/03 where it could result in brake failure.

If you been working on a rebuild you might take notice.
