The defect

The involved vehicles were produced with hydraulic brake booster supply hoses that are located too close to the engine exhaust manifold and may chafe and develop heat damage during vehicle operation. Chafing and heat induced deterioration of a hose due to direct contact with the manifold may cause the hose to wear. A subsequent rupture will result in pump fluid loss.

The remedy

The dealer will relocate and replace the brake booster supply tube and hose as necessary at no cost to owner.
