The issue
A CHANGE IN THE BRAKE SYSTEM'S HYDROVAC CANISTERS RESULTED IN THE DEGRADATION OF BRAKE CHARACTERISTICS OF SUSPECT VEHICLES. IN COMPARISON TO THE OLD DESIGN, INCREASED BRAKE PEDAL EFFORT IS NECESSARY TO ATTAIN IDENTICAL STOPPING CAPABILITY. ALSO THE MAXIMUM STOPPING CAPABILITY IS INFERIOR TO THE OLD. A DRIVER UNFAMILIAR WITH THESE BRAKES MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE QUICKLY IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION.
