MITSUBISHI passenger cars - brake booster check valve — injuries risk

Hazard

The product poses a risk of injuries because, due to a brake booster check valve failure, the first time the brake pedal is pressed after parking the vehicle for several hours, the operating force has to be increased (no brake assistance). Initially, it is difficult to press down the brake pedal while driving slowly (e.g. manoeuvring the vehicle), but the brake pedal then returns to normal.
