  1. Brake servo vacuum pipe may crack

    Reported July 6, 2002DVSA recall R/2002/0817,113 vehicles affected

    A vacuum pipe may develop cracks and leak, reducing brake servo assistance so more pedal force is needed. The braking system itself will not fail. The pipes will be checked and replaced if necessary.

    Official DVSA recall text
    Component
    BRAKE VACUUM SUPPLY PIPE CONCERN
    Defect
    On Arosa vehicles in the affected chassis number range tension cracks may occur on the vacuum pipe to the brake servo in the area of the connections of the pipes because of a manufacturing fault. If a vacuum pipe leaks the brake servo loses its function. Without the servo assistance a lot more force must be used on the pedal. But this will not lead to a failure of the brake system
    Remedy
    The fitted vacuum pipes will be checked and if necessary replaced.
