Defect
Improper assembly of the vacuum pump allows sealant to enter the pump's oil supply port. This reduces the oil level inside the vacuum pump, degrading the oil film seal and causing insufficient negative pressure. In the worst case, brake pedal effort increases and stopping distance is extended.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the vacuum pump with a new unit. Inspect the oil supply port on the cylinder head leading to the vacuum pump and remove any remaining sealant.

状況
バキュームポンプにおいて、組み付け作業が不適切なため、ポンプのオイル給油穴にシール剤が浸入することがある。そのため、バキュームポンプ内のオイルが不足し、油膜によるシール性低下から負圧不足となり、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、バキュームポンプを新品に交換する。なお、シリンダーヘッドのバキュームポンプへの給油穴を点検し、シール剤が残っている場合は除去する。
