Defect
The lip seal assembly process for the brake booster is performed incorrectly, resulting in some units assembled without grease applied. This increases the sliding resistance of the lip seal, causing it to roll back and allow air to leak. In the worst case, brake pedal effort increases and stopping distance is extended.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, the brake booster is inspected and, where applicable, replaced with a conforming unit.

状況
ブレーキブースターのリップシールの組付け作業が不適切なため、グリースが塗布されずに組付けられたものがある。そのため、リップシールの摺動抵抗が増大して捲れるとエアーが漏れ、最悪の場合、ブレーキペダルの操作力が増大し、制動距離が長くなるおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、ブレーキブースターを確認し、該当するものはブレーキブースターを良品に交換する。
