What is wrong
WATER COULD ACCUMULATE BETWEEN THE MOUNTING SURFACE OF THE BRAKE POWER BOOSTER UNIT AND THE FRONT SURFACE OF THE PEDAL SUPPORT BRACKET TO WHICH IT IS ATTACHED. AFTER A PERIOD OF TIME, THE WATER COULD CAUSE CORROSION, WHICH WOULD HINDER THE FREE MOVEMENT OF THE POWER BOOSTER PISTON IN ITS GUIDE CHANNEL.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
DEALER WILL INSPECT AND, IF NECESSARY, REPLACE THE BRAKE POWER BOOSTER WITHOUT CHARGE TO OWNER.

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.
