The issue
VEHICLES WITH 2.1 LITRE TURBO DIESEL ENGINES HAVE BRAKE SYSTEM VACUUM TANKS WHICH MAY DEVELOP LEAKS DUE TO BUMPER IMPACT. SUCH LEAKAGE CAN CAUSE LOSS OF POWER ASSIST AND AN INCREASE IN STOPPING DISTANCE. THIS COULD RESULT IN A VEHICLE CRASH WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING. CORRECTION: BRAKE VACUUM TANKS WHICH ARE MORE CAPABLE OF WITHSTANDING BUMPER IMPACT WILL BE INSTALLED ON AFFECTED VEHICLES.
Description (français)
Il peut se produire des fuites au systèmes de freinage des véhicules équipés du moteur diesel suralimenté de 2,1 litres si le pare-choc est entre en contact avec les réservoirs à dépression. De telles fuites peuvent rendre les servofreins inopérants et augmenter la distance de freinage. Il peut en résulter un accident non prévisible.
