The problem
These vehicles were assembled with one of the four brake booster tabs not properly located in the front of dash reinforcement assembly.
The risk
If this condition were present in a situation where stopping distances were small, a vehicle crash could occur.
The fix
Dealers will inspect for proper booster installation. Boosters found to be improperly located will be removed and reinstalled properly.
