What NHTSA recorded

A soapy lubricant was used to insert the check valve into the vacuum hose which causes the brake booster check valve to stick.

Possible consequence

This condition can cause a loss of the brake's power assist resulting in a reduction in braking performance increasing the potential for a vehicle accident.

Remedy

Dealers will clean the check valve by washing the vacuum hose with hot water.
