The issue
DURING THE REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION OF THE AIR FILTER HOUSING WHILE PERFORMING SERVICE, IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THE VACUUM HOSE COULD BE MISROUTED AND DAMAGE TO THE VACUUM CHECK VALVE COULD OCCUR. IF THE CHECK VALVE IS DAMAGED, A LOSS OF SUFFICIENT BRAKE BOOST WILL OCCUR. CORRECTION: VEHICLES WILL BE INSPECTED AND, IF NECESSARY, THE VACUUM HOSE TO THE VACUUM BRAKE BOOSTER WILL BE REPLACED WITH A NEWLY DESIGNED PREFORMED HOSE WITH A RELOCATED CHECK VALVE.
