What is wrong
THE RUBBER VALVE WHICH FITS INTO THE AIR BOOSTER MAY CRACK WHEN THE PRESSURE BECOMES TOO HIGH, ALLOWING THE BRAKE FLUID TO FLOW INTO AIR BOOSTER CAUSING THE RUBBER VALVE TO BE CAUGHT BETWEEN THE RUBBER STEM AND THE PISTON. CONSEQUENCE OF DEFECT: IF CRACK EXPANDS AND RUBBER VALVE BREAKS, THE REAR BRAKE WOULD NO LONGER FUNCTION. FRONT BRAKE WOULD RETAIN ITS USUAL CONDITIONS, HOWEVER THE STOPPING DISTANCE WOULD INCREASE AND COULD RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE AIR BOOSTER.

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.
