What’s wrong
There is a risk that the brake booster water shield may be incorrectly installed. This may result in limited braking ability due to water ingress into the brake booster.
The fix
On affected vehicles the brake booster water shield must be inspected for proper installation. If the brake booster water shield is found to be missing or incorrectly installed the brake booster must also be vacuum tested. Brake boosters that do not pass the vacuum test must be replaced. At the conclusion of this the brake booster must be equipped with a properly installed shield to protect the brake booster crimp joints from water exposure.
