On certain vehicles, the water preventing cover for the intake of the air vacuum brake booster is missing (not installed at factory), and water can enter the inside of the booster. If the vehicle continues to be driven without the cover, rust may occur inside the booster, and in the worst case, the piston would not function properly, which would result in reduced braking efficiency.

Correction:
The intake of the vacuum brake booster should be checked, and if the water preventing cover is not in place, the cover should be installed. Also, the inside of the booster should be inspected, and if there is any rust, the booster should be replaced with a new one.
