What is wrong
ON THE INVOLVED VEHICLES, THE HOSE USED TO SUPPLY VACUUM TO THE BRAKE POWER UNIT OR VACUUM RESERVE TANK MAY HAVE BEEN OF THE WRONG MATERIAL. THIS HOSE COULD DEFORM SUFFICIENTLY DURING NORMAL OPERATION TO CAUSE A REDUCTION IN VACUUM ASSIST TO THE BRAKE POWER UNIT. THIS WOULD RESULT IN GREATER BRAKE PEDAL EFFORT BY OPERATOR AND AN INCREASE IN VEHICLE STOPPING DISTANCES.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
THE DEALER WILL INSPECT AND, IF NECESSARY, REMOVE INCORRECT HOSE AND INSTALL THE PROPER VACUUM HOSE.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
