The defect
The involved vehicles do not conform to federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 106, "brake hoses". These vehicles were manufactured with gasoline fuel hoses in place of the vacuum hose between the intake manifold and carbon canister in the power brake vacuum line. Should this hose rupture, it would result in a loss of power assist to the brake system. This would increase the distance required to stop the vehicle.
The remedy
The dealer will replace the incorrect hose with the correct vacuum hose.
