| Details | UNDER EXTREMELY LOW TEMPERATURE OPERATING CONDITIONS AND INFREQUENT BRAKE OPERATION THERE IS THE POSSIBILITY THAT CONDENSED MOISTURE FROM A SURGE TANK MIGHT SEEP INTO THE BRAKE BOOSTER VACUUM HOSE AND FREEZE. OVER TIME, THE ICE MAY ACCUMULATE AND EVENTUALLY PLUG THE HOSE, THEREBY ELIMINATING THE VACUUM ASSIST TO THE BRAKES. THE INCREASED PEDAL PRESSURE REQUIRED TO APPLY THE BRAKES COULD LEAD TO AN INCREASE IN STOPPING DISTANCE AND A POSSIBLE VEHICLE ACCIDENT. CORRECTION: BRAKE VACUUM HOSE WILL BE REPLACED WITH A NEWLY CONFIGURED VERSION. |
