On certain vehicles, the hydraulic brake booster supply hoses are located too near the exhaust manifold heat shrouds and may be susceptible to chaging and/ or heat damage. This could cause the hose to wear and eventually rupture resulting in a loss of pump fluid. Should this occur during vehicle operation, there is a potential for increased stopping distance due to the loss of pump fluid and for an engine compartment fire resulting from fluid being sprayed on the exhaust manifold.
The wording above is the department's own, as it stood in the monthly file this site last read. Vehicle counts are the sum of the counts published for each make and model the recall covers. To act on a recall, use the official notice: Transport Canada recall 1984136.
