Details

What's wrong: The power brake booster vacuum hose was improperly installed on the intake manifold vacuum nipple.

Why it matters: A disconnected vacuum hose causes an increase in engine idle speed and loss of power assist during brake application increasing the risk of a vehicle accident.

The fix: Dealers will fully install the intake manifold vacuum hose to the vacuum nipple on the intake manifold.
