Reported risk: During engine warm up it is possible that the non return valve within the vacuum pump may stick. It is possible that if sufficient brake applications are made before the valve releases the vacuum stored within the brake booster will be used up and a hard brake pedal and longer stopping distances may result. Remedy: Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to fit a revised design of non return valve to the brake vacuum pump.
