A DEFECTIVE THROTTLE VALVE LOCATED INSIDE THE HYDRAULIC BRAKE BOOSTER, MAY DEFORM FROM A BUILDUP OF HEAT AND PRESSURE AND CLOSE OFF THE HYDRAULIC FLUID RETURN PORTS. THIS WOULD CAUSE EXCESSIVE PRESSURE TO BUILD UP IN THE BOOSTER AND CAUSE THE BRAKES TO SELF APPLY AND FORCE AN UNEXPECTED SEVERE STOP. THIS CONDITION WOULD ALSO CAUSE LOSS OF POWER STEERING ASSIST ON VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH POWER STEERING. THIS DEFECT CAN RESULT IN LOSS OF CONTROL AND A CRASH WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING. CORRECTION: BRAKE BOOSTER ASSEMBLY WILL BE REPLACED.
A failure of this component (brakes) may increase the risk of a crash or injury.
Authorized dealerships will inspect the vehicle and complete all necessary repairs free of charge (parts and labor).

WITH INSUFFICIENT TORQUE, THE NUT MAY WORK LOOSE ALLOWING THE SCREW TO FALL OUT. IF THIS SHOULD OCCUR, THE GOVERNOR LINKAGE WOULD SEPARATE FROM THE RACK RESULTING IN LOSS OF CONTROL OVER ENGINE SPEED. THIS COULD CAUSE A VEHICLE CRASH WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING. CORRECTION: FUEL PUMP RACK TO GOVERNOR LINKAGE SCREW WILL BE RETORQUED.
