Defect
In the brake system, improper manufacturing of the brake booster vacuum hose has left foreign material inside the hose's check valve. Continued use may cause the check valve to stick in the closed position, reducing vacuum to the brake booster and resulting in insufficient braking force.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the complete vacuum hose assembly, including the check valve, with a conforming unit.
