Details
What's wrong: A soapy lubricant was used to insert the check valve into the vacuum hose which causes the brake booster check valve to stick.
Why it matters: 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.
The fix: Dealers will clean the check valve by washing the vacuum hose with hot water.
