On certain vehicles, the brake booster check valve were assembled into the brake booster vacuum hose using a soapy lubricant. This soapy lubricant may eventually cause the check valve to stick which could result in loss of the brake's power assist. Correction: The master power check valve hose will be cleaned by washing the hose with hot water.
