Kia · Passenger car "Sportage"
Some vehicles have been fitted with a vacuum pump that could fail in service. If this occurs it will reduce the amount of vacuum available to the servo which, after a number of braking applications, will result in increased braking distances and pedal hardness. This could lead to a road accident.
