What Happened
The brake booster in your vehicle is a crucial part that helps you stop safely. It's called the hydro-boost assembly, and it uses hydraulic fluid to assist your brakes. In some cases, the accumulator in this assembly can crack and separate from the rest of the system.
Risk if Unfixed
If the accumulator cracks and separates while you're driving, it could cause a serious leak of hydraulic fluid. This would make it much harder to steer and brake, and you could lose control of your vehicle without warning, leading to a crash.
Free Fix
Your authorized dealership will test the hydro-boost assembly to make sure it's working properly. If it's not, they'll replace the entire assembly with a new one at no cost to you. You should schedule the repair as soon as possible to ensure your safety on the road.
