What NHTSA recorded

During the removal and installation of the air filter housing while servicing the vehicle, it is possible to misroute the preformed vacuum hose and damage the check valve in the vacuum hose. If the check valve is damaged, loss of sufficient brake power assist will occur.

Possible consequence

Lack of sufficient brake power assist will increasestopping distance and could result in a vehicle accident.

Remedy

Replace the preformed vacuum hose with a newly designed preformed hose with a relocated check valve which will eliminate the possibility of the check valve being damaged.
