Details

What's wrong: The power brake booster vacuum reservoir diaphragm can split or tear.

Why it matters: This can cause an increase in engine idle speed and a loss of power assist during brake application without prior warning.

The fix: Dealers will inspect the brake booster date code and any boosters with the suspect manufacturing date range will be replaced.
