Recall 1993060

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.

Description (français)

Au cours de l'entretien régulier du véhicule, il se peut que le tuyau à dépression soit réinstallé au mauvais endroit lors de la pose du boîtier du filtre à air, ce qui peut endommager la soupape de retenue à dépression. Si cela se produit, la pression au servomécanisme de freinage sera insuffisante. CORRECTION: Les véhicules seront inspectés et, si nécessaire, la soupape de retenue sera installée ailleurs et le tuyau à dépression du servomécanisme de freinage sera remplacé par un tuyau préformé de conception nouvelle.
