Transport Canada Recall # 2009251
Recall Date:  2009/08/26
Notification Type:  Safety TC
System:  Brakes
Manufacturer Recall Number:  920
Units Affected:  103,932
Category: Car
Recall Details: 
On certain vehicles, when driven in extremely low ambient temperatures, the intake manifold suction port for the brake vacuum can become blocked due to the freezing of condensation emanating from Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV). Should the suction port become blocked, vacuum assist to the brakes would be insufficient and the increased pedal pressure required could lead to an increase in vehicle stopping distance. Extended stopping distances may result in a vehicle crash causing property damage, personal injury or death. Correction: Dealers will install a newly designed intake air connector which will relocate the brake system vacuum port.
