Details

What's wrong: On certain passenger vehicles, the brake servo vacuum supply hose may have been mis-routed during assembly. This condition may bring the pipe too close to the exhaust gas recirculation (egr) valve and attachments on the exhaust manifold.

Why it matters: In the case of a contact condition, the brake vacuum hose may melt leading to a loss of brake assistance increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Dealers will inspect the brake vacuum hose routing and adjust as necessary. The hose will be replaced if there are signs of damage. The recall began on May 25, 2007.
