Defect

Brake pedal could be stiff to depress requiring more input from the driver to stop as a result of insufficient brake assistance caused by low vacuum at low engine speed while at high altitude immediately after starting.

Remedy

Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to fit an electric vacuum pump to supplement the engine vacuum system.

Recalls Number (Vehicles Effected)

R/2007/174 (687)

Manufacturer Reference

Defect

Due to the possibility of a fault in the production process the flexible rubber brake hoses may not have been correctly vulcanised. As a consequence may partially or totally restrict the internal flow of the brake hydraulic fluid. Should this happen a reduction in efficiency during braking would occur.

Remedy

Recalled vehicles will have the hoses checked to identify if they are within the affected batch. If this is the case they will be replaced with quality assured items.
