What is wrong
Vehicle description: passenger vehicles. It is possible that the retaining clip that secures the brake booster pushrod to the brake pedal arm was not properly installed during production. It is possible for the clip to detach from the pin on the brake pedal arm allowing the pushrod to disconnect from the arm.
The risk
If this occurs, braking is not possible.
The fix
Dealers will inspect the clip for tight installation and replace the clip if it is loose.
