The risk
Due to a manufacturing issue, the brake booster can be assembled with too much pressure applied to the diaphragm plate. As a result, the diaphragm plate can crack, causing the internal membrane to split. This will lead to a sudden loss of brake performance, increasing the risk of an accident.
