Default Vacuum Hose Recall

On 2013-2014 Dart sedans with the Tigershark 2.0-liter or 2.4-liter engine—but not models with the 1.4-liter turbo Multi air engine—oil may trickle through the brake vacuum hoses into the brake booster diaphragm and cause a loss of power assist. FCA says it knows of at least seven accidents and two injuries that may be attributable to this defect, which can cause the brake pedal to feel overly stiff and result in longer stopping distances. A “pop” or other sounds may identify a potential vacuum leak.


Is there any up-dated info on this recall for example: Images, etc.

Has anyone had any problems on this issue

cheers

Hi Kayakman:
If you have any technical questions regarding the recall, please contact your dealership.
