On certain vehicles, the engine driven vacuum pump may introduce engine oil into the vacuum hoses due to the absence of an internal check valve. The oil may cause the hose to deteriorate and partially collapse, reducing the vacuum supply to the brake booster. Correction: A vacuum pump check valve will be added at the vacuum pump and the vacuum hose connected to the pump will be replaced with one that is resistant to engine oil.
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 1997095.
