Alfa Romeo · Passenger car - Brake booster
The product poses a risk of injuries because the brake pedal can be stiff when pressed for the first few times after starting the cold engine at altitudes higher than 1000 metres above sea level. This is due to insufficient brake booster assistance caused by low vacuum at low engine speed at high altitude immediately after cranking and could cause a risk of a road accident.
